Is There Such a Thing as a Free Lunch?

Maybe! And it might be waiting for you!

We’re kicking off our month-long financial myth-busting series not with a myth, but with a surprising reality: There could be money out there, owed to you, that you don’t know about. And it’s not hard to get.

Every state has an unclaimed property program designed to return forgotten funds to their rightful owners. This isn’t a scam; it’s a legitimate, free public service.

This “free money” could be from things like unclaimed utility or security deposits, forgotten bank or investment accounts, insurance refunds, or uncashed paychecks

The best part? Searching for your name takes just a couple of minutes and is completely free. It’s an easy way to recover funds that are already yours.
