NAUPA, The National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators represents state governments that actively locate owners while protecting forgotten unclaimed money until found.
It is a non-profit organization affiliated with the National Association of State Treasurers and the Council of State Governments.
Members represent all states, the District of Columbia, and other international governmental entities. It provides a forum for continuing discussions regarding interstate cooperation, education, training, uniform laws, reporting requirements and increasing the public’s awareness of the role the states play in protecting and returning property to rightful owners.
The mission is to promote and support excellence and professionalism among those individuals charged with the responsibilities of unclaimed property administration and compliance.
One of the areas of compliance has to do with how the states report unclaimed money.

I just learned that unclaimed money in my name in the approximate amount of $783.53 exists. In order to obtain any information, or even confirm whether or not this is me, I have to pay at least $29.95 to a website. I believe that this is me, because I had a refund due in about that amount from overpayment of insurance premiums from a previous healthcare provider: A refund I never received (even though I still have the same address now as I did at that time) . I’ve checked all the free websites I know, but have been unable to locate any unclaimed money in my name. I have been down that road before and paid a company to find unclaimed property/money only to be disillusioned because they find nothing, and I have paid money I do not get back (even though they promised a refund if they find nothing). What can I do?
Have you received a refund?
What city and state?
I have been contacted by a person, who claims to work for NAUP. She claimed she would send me a U.S. Treasury Dept. Seal, so I may claim my second prize winning from PCH for 450,000. All I need to do is send $2,250. for the legal FL. Treasury seal. Is your company aware of this scam?
Rose,
Yes, thank you for contacting us. I’m not sure if you thought you were contacting NAUPA directly, but I’m sure they are aware of this and other scams.
I actually addressed this in a post that you can see here, http://unclaimed-funds.org/please-do-not-fall-for-this-scam/
It’s very unfortunate that things like this take place, one, because people actually fall for it and send money in, and two, when a legitimate finder company calls to let them know they really do have money owed to them, they may not accept it.
How do you find unclaimed prize money in your name?
What state do you or have you resided in?
Hi my name is Robert Gall and I have searched name that matches my name but I’m not sure if this claime is mine? Is it possible I can claim that fund ? Pls need advise & guidance to this claim.
Regards
Robert
Robert,
The best thing to do is contact the agency where you saw your name directly and ask them what you need to do to prove the funds are yours.
They will most likely ask for your social security number as proof, or they will want proof that you lived at the address where the money is listed, proof that you worked at a certain address, etc.
This is how they can confirm it’s yours if you have a similar name as someone else.
Good luck!
Was informed that my deceased mother Matilda Alice Giddens was named as beneficiary of a Humana Life Insurance policy by her now deceased brother Paul E. Lawrence
Alice,
If you are looking to claim that, you will need to find where it is being held if you don’t know. You can use the resources on this site to start. Then you will need to show proof that you are the heir.
