How it works

1

Search your name

Pick your state and search the official site — free, with just your name. Try maiden names and old addresses too.

2

Confirm it’s you

Add any matches to a claim and verify your identity. You never pay, and you never send money to claim your money.

3

Get paid by the state

The state reviews your claim and sends a check or deposit. Simple claims often take just a few weeks.
