Found money (eventually)

[geekchick]

Someone recently mentioned in passing discovering their name and associated money in their state unclaimed property database, and out of curiosity I plugged my name in to http://www.missingmoney.com/ just to see what could be seen. There's at least one entry that looks suspiciously like it could be me (and possibly a second), so I fire off a request at the state treasury department website. Today, I get this:

We received your inquiry and it appears that you may have property to claim. The inquiry will be processed in the order in which it was received. Please allow 6 to 8 weeks for more information to be sent for we are currently experiencing a backlog situation. We hope to correct this situation as soon as possible.

Thank you,

Department of Treasury

Division of Unclaimed Property

Neat. That address is from ten years ago so these days I have no clue what the property in question could possibly be, but I'm expecting it to probably be something like the $5 remnant from a utility deposit. At any rate, it's a pleasant change to get mail indicating someone wants to give me back money rather than take it from me.

There might be money for me... and maybe something from my Grandma... I emailed my dad about it.

Good luck. =)

thanks. If there's money for me it's from a savings account we lost in the move back when I was 14 and it's under 100. Grandma, not sure.

I still don't know how much the total is, but I just got a letter telling me it's an expense report check from three employers ago, a payroll-related something from four employers ago, and a state tax refund. Huh.
