How it works

1

Search

Enter your name. We scan the unclaimed-money records we host from states, counties, and federal sources.

2

Verify

We confirm the money is really yours and gather the documentation the agency requires.

3

Get paid

We file the claim on your behalf. You get your money; we take a small, capped fee — only if you're paid.

We search more sources than anyone

Most tools only cover state unclaimed property. We add county tax-sale surplus and federal money too — and route you to every state's official database.
