(Part 1 of 2)

Louisiana's State Treasury Department has hundreds of millions worth of unclaimed funds from lost assets that residents have forgotten about or abandoned. These properties include uncashed payroll checks, old bank accounts, stocks and stock dividends, royalties, utility deposits, interest payments, insurance proceeds, retirement benefits, and contents of abandoned safe deposit boxes. By law, businesses and organizations have to hand them over to the state if the rightful owners do not claim them after a period of three to five years for most assets. Unclaimed savings bonds make up a huge chunk of the $330 million total Louisiana unclaimed money. State Treasurer John Kennedy is attempting to reunite matured abandoned United States savings bonds as well as other types of LA lost property with roughly 1 in every 6 of the state's residents.

(Part 2 of 2)

The majority of people do not know about gov. abandoned money and that's one of the primary reasons why the total unclaimed funds and cash in the U.S. now totals roughly $35 billion. Difficult to believe and somewhat ironic, but people also lose track of their money in their haste to earn more of it – especially in the fast paced lifestyles we lead now. Working multiple jobs, skipping from one job to another, changing of addresses or names (due to marriage), retirement, and death can all cause us to lose track of financial assets belonging to us. Mailed checks and financial notices can get sent back to sender if people do not leave behind forwarding addresses (as in the case of emergencies). Disasters after hurricanes in the past have displaced multitudes of families, which is sure to cause the already whopping unclaimed property fund in Louisiana to grow larger. Government efforts to track down the owners of unclaimed funds are already insufficient in giving back all of the $330 million presently being held by the state. Residents are urged to take the initiative and perform a search for lost money in Louisiana as well as other states. Louisiana unclaimed funds claims for $250 and above have to be notarized, but it is possible to do an online claim for $249 an under. Web searches can be relatively simple and quick – the key is knowing where to search.

These assets include old bank accounts, uncashed payroll checks, royalties, stocks and stock dividends, interest payments, utility deposits, retirement benefits, insurance proceeds, and contents of abandoned safe deposit boxes. By law, organizations and businesses have to turn them over to the state if their owners don't claim them after a period of 3-5 years for most assets. A huge piece of the $330 million total Louisiana unclaimed money comes from unclaimed savings bonds. State Treasurer John Kennedy is attempting to reunite matured forgotten U.S. savings bonds as well as other types of Louisiana abandoned property with approximately 1 in every 6 of the state's residents.

In Baton Rouge alone over 80,000 people, owed nearly $27 million, are listed in the Louisiana unclaimed funds databases. According to the State Treasurer, "The state owes Louisiana residents millions of dollars in unclaimed property, and we want to give this money back." Louisiana's Unclaimed Money Law requires the State Treasury Dept. to print names of businesses and individuals who are due money in newspapers across the state each year on top of making other attempts to seek out the rightful owners. At a recent "Awareness Day" held at the Lakeside Shopping Center, the Louisiana Dept. of Treasury gave back $133,000 in unclaimed funds owed to residents of the city of New Orleans. "This was one of the largest unclaimed property events we've ever had," said Treasurer Kennedy. "We estimate that we had around 3,000 people in attendance over a five hour period. The average unclaimed property claim is typically around $200 to $400, but one individual at the mall claimed more than $20,000."

Unclaimed money is piling up
