Find CA Unclaimed Property – Part 1 of 2
(Part 1 of 2)
The California’s unclaimed property program takes in approximately 300 million dollars every year. Why does it matter to you? Well, if you or anyone you know is or was a resident of the Golden State (or had any kind of business dealings, whether you knew it or not), some of that big pile of Cali lost assets could very well be yours!
Under the CA unclaimed property law, lost money such as forgotten checking and savings accounts, uncashed checks and money orders, mineral deposits, salary checks, cash and stock dividends, state of California unclaimed tax refunds, gift certificates, and other assets are passed along to the Department of the Treasury if their owners don’t locate them within a given period. This ‘dormancy period’ varies from state to state, but in Cali it’s 3 years. These forgotten funds then get moved to the CA unclaimed property division, where they sit in the state’s general fund until they’re returned to the rightful owners. This is where state officials who handled Cali unclaimed cash were recently criticized. It seems that they were all to happy to track down and take hold of the lost funds from the various establishments holding them but but weren’t so keen on contacting the actual owners in the Cali unclaimed money database.
