Unclaimed property is money that’s been lost or forgotten over time, including old bank accounts, uncashed checks, stock certificates, and unused gift cards. After a period of inactivity, lost money is legally considered abandoned property and turned over to the New York State Comptroller’s Office, where there’s no fee or time limit to claim it. Do you have unclaimed funds awaiting you? According to the Comptroller’s Office, over $2 million in funds are returned each day. Find your lost money!
