Remember to Check for Unclaimed Money
Occasionally, you might have extra funds sitting idle—be it from an unclaimed bank balance or an overpaid bill. When these funds are not claimed, they eventually become state property. You can easily verify if any money is waiting for you or your family by using the state’s search service. This reminder is particularly useful if you change addresses often, which might cause lost checks. Wishing everyone a wonderful new year!
The practice of checking for unclaimed funds proves valuable over time. In my experience, periodically verifying records on the state’s website led me to discover a forgotten balance from an old bank account. This proactive approach not only prevents assets from being absorbed by the state but also helps in maintaining a comprehensive overview of one’s financial situation. It is important to review past financial transactions and changes in address, as these details can result in funds being mistakenly marked as unclaimed. Remain diligent to ensure that all assets remain accessible.
