From Bob Irish, retirement expert, Palm Beach Research Group: There’s $18 billion in unclaimed funds currently being held by the government… and some is likely yours.
That’s according to a recent report from National Public Radio. If you think some of the unclaimed cash might be yours, there are several websites to help you locate it:
-
Unclaimed deposits at the National Credit Union Administration
-
Unclaimed funds at the FDIC
-
Unpaid foreign claims at the Bureau of Fiscal Service
-
Unclaimed savings bonds that have stopped earning interest at the U.S. Treasury
-
Money owed to you by the SEC
-
Unclaimed tax refunds through the IRS
-
Unclaimed pensions
-
Unclaimed property by state.
While you should always be wary of anyone claiming to have access to “free money” (especially if they’ve contacted you)… there’s really a lot of unclaimed money out there. A 10-minute check of the websites above could mean thousands for you—or more. Get your money back!
Reeves’ Note: As Bob notes, there are many sources of unclaimed money out there and many of them are just a mouse-click away. There’s even a way to get in on $7.83 million of “insider” money in the stock market. It’s not a joke.
