Colorado is holding hundreds of millions of dollars in unclaimed funds!
There are almost two million accounts due money.
These names are for individuals as well as for businesses.
Unclaimed funds are unclaimed or abandoned intangible property. It represents a certain obligation a company is holding for another person or business.
It includes:
-
- checking and saving accounts
- certificates of deposit
- over payments
- insurance checks
- payroll checks
- utility refunds
- money orders
- un-cashed checks
- dividends
- stocks
- bonds
- contents of safe deposit boxes and more.
Unclaimed funds are turned over to the State to protect them and return them to its rightful owner(s) or their heirs. Once received by his office, the Treasurer guarantees that the claimants who properly prove rightful ownership will receive their property back, even if the original financial institution or business closes.
For the convenience of the property’s rightful owner(s), people trying to locate forgotten bank accounts or other property in Colorado can find them by searching the website or with just one call.
The State has what they call the Great Colorado Payback where you can search for your Colorado unclaimed money. Besides the site where you can search for yourself, the Treasurer also publishes the list in newspapers, as well as distributing it to libraries, county treasurer offices, and state legislators.
Most money is turned over to the State when it has been considered dormant for a certain time period. It is usually three years.
Certificates of Deposit (CD) and Individual Retirement Accounts become unclaimed after being dormant for five years.
There is no time limit to claim your unclaimed money.
If you do a search and find money owed to you, you can hit the “Claim” button to start the process.

Had been advised in the90’s that an account held by myself with Fitzsimmons Federal Credit Union had monies/interest accumulating. Had purchased a Vehicle from my Parents (datsun 710)
I wrote to the FCU with Identification (D.L. #, SSN and current address)….to no avail, it was the Article in the Rocky Mountain News…
Resided in Arizona at this time…figured it was taken to fund the City/State of Colorado…
Fine me big money 2017.
I never got a child support check that was from his income tax for back child support..I was told by the child support case worker the state intercepted it for fines..but couldn’t find out what fines..and the only fines I was aware that I hadn’t shown any payment ..no change in my balance..so it made no sence and no one could give me any information.
Where did it go??
I am submitting my request. I found I am owed some cash from Colorado Payback.
How long will the process take?
Thank You.
FYI….
It took me 5 months to get my Colorado Payback check after my submission.
I printed the forms on my home network, then realized it didn’t go through. How do I go back in and reprint?
JC, I think you’re referring to something on the actual Colorado site. You’re going to have to go back to it at http://www.colorado.gov/treasury/gcp/ and see if you can reprint from there.
I had monies in a profit sharing account and I haven’t received anything on it in years. How do I go about finding out where it is and how I can get it.
Dianna,
Was this in Colorado? If so, you can start your search here, http://www.colorado.gov/treasury/gcp/.
You also might want to call the company the funds were with and see if they turned them over to anyone.
Also, if the company is incorporated in another state, you can look there as well.
Good luck!
How do I check if I have any left over in the state of Colorado?
