What Is Lost Money?

For your protection, banks, insurance companies, utilities, investment companies and many other businesses are required by State law to surrender inactive accounts to the State. These accounts are known as “lost,” “abandoned,” or “unclaimed” funds.

The Office of the State Comptroller serves as custodian of this money. If you can prove you are entitled to the money, we will gladly return it to you, at any time, without charge. Until the money is claimed, it is used by the State’s General Funds, serving the citizens and taxpayers of the State of New York.

Do a search for your last name, as there might be $25+ waiting for you. (The comptroller's office only holds funds of at least $25, not less.)

You might not realize that there was rebate money that never made it to you, an overpayment for your bill which wasn't returned to you, etc.

Or maybe there's even serious money waiting for you Wink
