Do you have unclaimed property?

[Das Texan]

my dad has 2 cents in unclaimed property.

Just found another $25 under my maiden name

Cool, I didn't even think to check my other name. Couple of years ago I found $750, from an old employer. Paid for a nice new floor for my upstairs hall.

none for me.

How does money become unclaimed, though? Checks never cashed?

[I. Hustle]

Cool I had 65 dollars out there.
My Father in law has over 1200 unclaimed

none for me.

That, and sometimes final paychecks never picked up/cashed, dividends from share accounts, etc. In my case I had $33 in a paypal acct that I have NO clue where it came from. I have piddly amounts left over from an account that paid dividends but checks were only cut and mailed when they were over $10 and $24 is from an old savings acct that my parents had opened for me that I basically forgot about!
