No, I do not have unclaimed money from 25 years ago…but my father does! $82.00 in fact!
One of my Facebook friends posted a link to Unclaimed Property Search in California (https://ucpi.sco.ca.gov/UCP/). You have to look yourself up, right? So I did and found $20.22 due to me from about 10 years ago. Then I was on a roll and got obsessed with looking up everyone I know in California. Turns out my husband has $18.98, my brother has over $30, I even found a friend with close to $400! Now I could have just posted the link on Facebook for everyone to look themselves, but I really wanted to be the bearer of good news, so I collected a bunch of screen shots and started delighting my friends and family.
Ladies, don’t forget to check your maiden name too!
Don’t live in California? Don’t fret, you can find a link to your state government’s page on the National Unclaimed Property Network (http://nupn.com/state.php).
