Do you think there is money out there waiting for you to find it?  There are lots of places to go to check!  The US Treasury Department and the IRS track money that has been unclaimed.  Call the IRS Hotline at (800) 829-1040.  Also check out the National Taxpayers Union's tax-refund finder http://www.ntu.org/.  Try The Treeasure Hunt site to find old US Savings Bonds at http://www.treasurydirect.gov/.

Check out www.unclaimed.org/ and www.missingmoney.com/ too.  Both are run by the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators and they have records from most states that track unclaimed property.  You can check every state that you've ever lived in!

If you find something worth claiming contact the state.  They will give you directions to claim your stuff.  You'll need to verify who you are in the usual ways.  You may need your social security number, a death certificate or a copy of a will. 

Good Luck!
