Good unclaimed money news for Californians

California

Good news for Californians! Over $400 million are ordered by a judge to be paid
to the owners of
unclaimed money which was in the hands of the California
Treasury Department. According to a news report
in San Francisco Chronicle, ?The ruling is the second major blow to the state
this year over how it has handled more than $5 billion in the unclaimed property
account - enough money to cover the cost of the California's 109-campus
community college system.?

The U.S. Government is holding-on to an estimated amount in the neighborhood of

$40 billion in unclaimed assets.
Imagine how much interest that generates per year! Yup, hundreds of millions. In
the Golden State alone, there is around $5 billion in unclaimed money and there
were reportedly instances where the state failed to include the interest on
successfully returned assets. This adds to the negative rulings plaguing the

unclaimed property division of the state's Treasury
Department. A federal court earlier this year
found that the state failed to notify some owners of lost assets properly before
seizing them. This resulted in a federal court ordering a cease in the seizure
of
unclaimed property by the state
until new laws were passed ensuring proper attempts to notify the owners of
such. The ban was lifted just recently.

Arkansas Unclaimed Money Search

Here's good news if you're living or at one time or another have lived or worked
in Arkansas. State auditor Jim Wood is looking for over 200,000 Arkansans who
are owed money in the form of unclaimed property. According to Wood, ?Ten
percent of the people in
Arkansas have unclaimed property here
and all they have to do is come forward to claim it" .

Unclaimed property comes from unreturnable checks due to change of addresses or
names,
forgotten bank accounts, unredeemed refunds and gift certificates
and the like. After a dormancy period which varies per state, escheat laws
require the companies with these lost assets to turn them over to the Treasury
Department of each state.

Even if you haven't been to Arkansas, the unclaimed department of the government
in that state may have money for you. Companies based there might have
turned-over your lost funds after unsuccessfully locating you after some years.
The
U.S. Government right now has nearly $40 billion in unclaimed property
and experts say it belongs to 7 out of 10 Americans.

Find Money Owed To Me in Alaska

If you've resided in Alaska sometime in your life and wondering now if you might
have left behind financial assets, well, there's a 70% chance you just might
have. An estimated 7 out of 10 Americans are owed

unclaimed money by the Treasury Department
in the different states across the country. The amount of

unclaimed funds currently
totals nearly $40.

Lost
financial assets are turned-over to the federal
department of each state after a certain dormancy period. The number of years
these assets have to be dormant depends on the type of of asset and on each
individual state's local laws. In Alaska, that can be 1 year for utilities and
safe deposit box contents, 3 years for things like mineral proceeds and
interest, 5 for checking and savings accounts and stock shares, and 7 years for
non-bank money orders. The longest dormancy period is 15 years for traveler's
checks.

Luckily, there's no need to leave your home in order to claim your
lost money
in Alaska - just get on a computer with internet
access and let your fingers do the work. Be warned though, as in many other
places in the world, there are also a lot of unscrupulous people on the web out
make a fast buck. They charge you per every single search, so it's easy to spend
20, 30 bucks and come-up with nothing. There are some useful ones  which
show how to do effective search methods for a minimal fee. It's really your
decision on how to go about searching for your money- just do it and get what's
rightfully yours.
