Frequently Asked Questions

What is 'Unclaimed Property'?
Unclaimed property is money or other assets that belong to you but got lost or forgotten over time. If no one claims the money after a while, it’s sent to the state. In California, the state holds it until the rightful owner comes forward.
It’s your money—you just have to claim it. And we’re here to help make that simple.

How do funds become unclaimed?
Funds become unclaimed when there’s no contact with the owner for a period of time—usually due to a move, name change, or forgotten account.
