Louisiana Unclaimed Funds

Louisiana Unclaimed Funds

By unclaimedfunds 79 Comments

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.

Claims for unclaimed property held by the State of Louisiana are processed by the Office of State Treasurer John M Schroder. There is no charge for this service.
Unclaimed assets are reported in the name and last known address of the owner(s) along with the Social Security number, if available.

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

You can contact the Unclaimed Property Office at

1 888 925-4127

State Capitol Building Annex
1051 N. 3rd Street, Room 150 Baton Rouge, LA 70802

Did you know you can make money finding unclaimed money for other people?

There is a little known business that lets you do that. Unclaimed money finders locate people that don’t know they money being held for them and help them to recover it.

In return, they charge a commission after the money is recovered.

    I would like to know if there is any unclaimed money in Louisiana. I was born and raised in Shreveport,La. but I live in Texas at the present time.
    My dad lived in Louisiana his entire life and when he passed back in 1990 the attorney that settled my Dad’s estate took advantage of my sister and I and I feel that there may be some monies that might still be owed to us that the attorney never told us about.
    my Dad’s name was NAPOLEON BONAPARTE MURFF. I need to know if there is any additional monies that might have been held in Louisiana. My sister’s name is Gloria (MURFF) SMITH.

    It looks like it is being held in Mississippi.

    First go to Mississippi home page, and enter your last name in the Unclaimed Money box.

    Then the “That’s Me” tab and print up the claim form.

    To claim your property:

    Print and complete the unclaimed property claim form. Be sure to include the property identification number
    Have your completed form notarized.
    Mail or email your completed, notarized form to:
    Office of the State Treasurer
