Louisiana is currently holding over $900 million in unclaimed funds!

Each year millions of dollars are turned over to the State Treasurer’s Office by businesses who are unable to contact property owners.

Unclaimed funds can consist of:

• forgotten bank accounts
• unpaid wages
• securities
• life insurance payouts
• uncashed checks
• proceeds of safe deposit boxes
• utility deposits

and many other items.

Funds go unclaimed for a variety of reasons including

• moving without getting your utility deposit back
• not claiming a final paycheck
• not knowing about an insurance payout
• not knowing about an inheritance.

There are many more reasons why funds go unclaimed.

The Louisiana Treasury site allows you to search the State Treasurer’s Unclaimed Property Database to determine if they are holding unclaimed assets belonging to you or your family or business.

All claims made with the office must include positive proof of ownership.  This could be either by verifying the Social Security Number, verifying a current and/or previous address or proving an association with the holder.

If the address listed is your address or a previous address, you must submit a claim with a copy of your driver’s license or other picture ID, Social Security number (required) and proof of the previous address. If you have never lived at the address listed, there is a very good possibility this money does not belong to you.

The Treasury does not publish dollar amounts to protect the privacy of the owners.  You can obtain more information about an item by clicking on the Property ID number, but this will only reveal an amount range.  The amount ranges displayed are: under $25.00, $25.00 to $50.00, $50.00 to $100.00, over $100.00

Kentucky is currently holding nearly half a billion dollars in unclaimed funds!

Kentucky’s unclaimed money program started in 1942.

Unclaimed property includes personal property or financial assets such as

• abandoned savings and checking accounts
• non-cashed checks and travelers’ checks
• payroll checks
• unclaimed safety deposit boxes
• old life insurance policies
• stocks
• utility deposits

These assets are turned over to the state after a period time, usually three years.

In most cases, the owner of such property has forgotten that the particular property or account exists. Sometimes, an owner has died and the heirs don’t know about the property.

Treasure Finders Kentucky is a proactive outreach designed to locate Kentucky residents who may have unclaimed property.


The goal of the program is to increase the return of money to Kentucky citizens.

Each year the Kentucky State Treasury receives million of dollars from holders (such as banks and insurance companies) who by statute must transfer assets of inactive accounts.  Efforts are made to notify the public that property is being held.

Each year about 20 percent is returned to owners.
