Lost or Unclaimed Money

Finding Cash at Unclaimed Money Sites

Lost or unclaimed money is pretty common in the United States. Learn how you can navigate unclaimed money sites to find forgotten cash for you, or turn it into a supplemental business idea and find cash for others. Great stay at home mom fun!

Here's a little story about lost or unclaimed money I'd like to share with you, friends. My younger sister lived in several states. She worked in Florida for a few months as a waitress, and then took a nanny position in New York, not realizing that she'd left without getting her last few paychecks.

The restaurant mailed the final checks to her, but unfortunately, they had the wrong address. So the checks ended up in New York's "lost and found" money department. My sister lived in New York for several years, never knowing what had happened to those checks before eventually moving back to Florida.

Four years after quitting her job in the restaurant, she learned where the money was, claimed the funds, and collected $300 at a time when she really needed it.

Believe it or not, it's estimated that 7 out of 10 Americans are due unclaimed cash. Some of this could be because you left a job without getting a final paycheck or you moved before getting your renter's deposit back. Some people are due money because of refunds or bank dividends.

Even things like lost child support and bail bonds count as lost or unclaimed money. Perhaps someone passed away and left you a large inheritance you were previously unaware of. There are lots of unclaimed money sites on the internet designed to help you search for different types of claims.

Many of these sites are actually free to use, and for stay at home moms, this type of business could also be a lucrative business opportunity in which you become a money finder for other people.
