February 1 is Unclaimed Property Day, an arbitrarily chosen date to remind you that they may have unclaimed cash or other assets that your state wants to give back to you.
You may be among the millions of people nationwide who have cash or assets waiting to be claimed. That is the message Thursday from state treasurers across the US in honor of Unclaimed Property Day, a reminder that your current state (or former one) wants to reunite you with what is rightfully yours. Here’s what you need to know. Over 30 million people in the United States have unclaimed property that they have either forgotten about or never knew was theirs, according to the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators, which is a part of the National Association of State Treasurers. Such property can include money from inactive bank accounts, unused rebate cards or uncashed paychecks, dividend checks or life insurance policy payouts. Or it could be securities from an old safe deposit box or an inheritance. How can someone not know where all their money is? “Any number of reasons,” said Illinois State Treasurer and NAST president Michael W. Frerichs. While the list of possible scenarios is long, here are some common examples:
