There is currently more than $170 million worth of Arkansas unclaimed funds being held!
Unclaimed funds can consist of:
- savings and checking accounts
- unpaid wages or commission
- stocks and bonds
- utility deposits
- insurance proceeds
- cashiers checks
- money orders
- contents of safe deposit boxes
and many other items not listed.
Funds can go unclaimed for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to:
- leaving a job without getting your final check
- moving without getting your utility deposit back
- not knowing about an insurance claim
- not knowing about an inheritance
The list of reasons goes on and on.
Different items have different dormancy periods before they are turned over to the State. The dormancy period is the length of time that there has been no action on an account.

I found a check in the amount of $500 made it to me in 2020 for over payments on my finesb over a ticket. Then it showed that 6 months later in 2022 it got voided and sent to the auditor of Arkansas State. Why did I not know this. And how can I get MY money?
I had a savings account in a bank and the bank closed.
Just checking to see if I have unclaimed funds out there.

Tammy,
Never ever pay a company upfront to get money back for you! Finders should only get paid after you get your money and the check clears! Please email me your information and I will see what I can do do help.
Hi I am Doris Thompson, 34 Quail Run Circle, LR – my former address was #7 Fox Trot Dr., Conway. My husband died in December 2014.
I am interested in how I can find any unclaimed money, as I have a friend who said they saw my name. However I have made several searches, but am afraid I am going around the world when it should be a more simple process. Thanks for any help you can give.

I never received a tax return from 2001 in Arkansas and how do I get my funds
I am checking to see if my nephew Kelvin W. Peterson of 220 Vine Street, Jacksonville, Arkansas has any unclaimed money from a savings account. He is 56 years old. I tried Unclaimed Funds, but it comes up “Been Verified which has to be filled out and then you have to pay”. I thought it worked like the State of Vermont where you would put in your last name and town and press search.
Can you help steer me in the right direction? Thank you!
Priscilla,
You do not have to pay to search for unclaimed funds in Arkansas. Are you sure you’ve gone to the correct site? You need to go to https://www.ark.org/auditor/unclprop/index.php/search/searchCrit

Are you referring to just Arkansas?
I looked in Arkansas and no full name came up, but they did have 97 “L Kelley’s”, 1240 “Kelley’s” last name only, and 37 “Lione’s”, first name only.
If you want to look into it further, you can go to https://www.ark.org/auditor/unclprop/index.php/search/searchCrit and search the names that come up.
If it not just Arkansas you’re interested in, try using the free search page.

Have you contacted the state? What about his company? You can also check out the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp at https://www.pbgc.gov/. They may be able to help you.
