Money may not grow on trees, but millions of Americans may be entitled to hundreds of dollars in forgotten cash. As of 2013, federal and state agencies held more than $58 billion in unclaimed cash and assets. One Connecticut resident even claimed $32.8 million from forgotten shares of stock. While not everyone has millions of dollars worth of forgotten assets, a majority of forgotten assets are worth more than $100.
So why do people not claim their money? Most people just aren't aware that they have lost assets in the first place. Whether it's an uncashed payroll check, forgotten dividends, or closed checking accounts, people don't realize they can rightfully claim these properties.
Which is why DoNotPay has launched an easy solution: our Missing Money product. We help the user find any unclaimed properties under their name by automatically searching various federal and state databases and handling the grunt work for them.
