Why Unclaimed Money Continues To Go Unnoticed

December 4th, 2012 |

Unclaimed money is a big problem in this country, but it’s one that nobody wants to talk about. With billions of dollars being held by treasury offices all over the country, something must be done if we hope to return this money back to the rightful owners and the economy. If we don’t do anything soon, the problem may become even direr, plunging the country even further into a recession or depression. Why isn’t everyone searching for unclaimed money and how is it still going unnoticed? The problem is that there are simply too many sources for unclaimed money and not enough resources in place to stop the money from flowing in.

 

Unclaimed Money Sources

The unnoticed unclaimed money that is currently flowing into treasury accounts in all fifty states includes money from abandoned bank accounts, utility deposits that were never returned, court and insurance settlements, child support payments, unclaimed dividends and stock balances. It even comes from things people are less likely to remember like old 401K’s, old and usually small stocks and bonds as well as security deposits for old rentals that the tenant may have not even thought they would get any sort of refund from and many other reasons as well.

With many states fighting to remain solvent in our depressed economy, treasury officials just don’t have the money or time to devote to all of this unnoticed unclaimed money. If we could hire an unclaimed money specialist to oversee the treasury offices in all fifty states, we might have a fighting chance against the unnoticed unclaimed money problem. Until then, we can only hope for a solution to present itself and soon.

 

How Can You Help?

Another prime reason why unclaimed money goes unnoticed in such record numbers is because most people have no idea that the money problem even exists. If people everywhere knew that they might have twenty, a hundred or a thousand dollars tucked away in a treasury account somewhere, more people might search for all of this unnoticed unclaimed money.

If we can all do our part and not only search ourselves but also get even more people to search for, find and claim all of the unnoticed unclaimed money being held in treasury accounts nationwide, we might finally be able to return all of that money to the rightful owners and return this country to the prosperous land it has always been.
