Track Down Missing Money in Louisiana – Part 2 of 2

(Part 2 of 2)

Most people do not know about government forgotten funds which is one of the primary reasons why the total unclaimed funds and cash in the U.S. now totals approximately 35 billion dollars. Tough to believe and somewhat ironic, but people also lose track of their assets in their haste to make more of it – especially in the fast paced lifestyles we lead these days. Working two jobs, skipping from job to job, changing of address or names (due to marriage), retiring, and death are all things that can cause us to lose track of financial assets belonging to us. Mailed checks and financial notices can get returned to the sender if people forget to leave behind forwarding addresses (as in the case of emergencies). Disasters such as hurricanes in the past have displaced a number of families, which will definitely cause the already whopping unclaimed property fund in Louisiana to balloon. Government efforts to locate the owners of unclaimed funds are already insufficient in returning all of the $330 million presently in the hands of the state. Residents are encouraged to take the initiative and do a search for missing money in Louisiana as well as other states. Louisiana unclaimed funds claims for $250 and above have to be notarized, but it's possible to do an online claim for $249 an under. Web searches can be relatively quick and simple – the hard part is knowing where to search.

Louisiana's State Treasury Dept. 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 the contents of abandoned safe deposit boxes. By law, businesses and organizations have to turn them over to the state if the rightful owners do not claim them after a period of 3 to 5 years for most assets. A huge piece of the $330 million total Louisiana unclaimed money comes from unclaimed savings bonds. John Kennedy, LA State Treasurer, is attempting to reunite matured abandoned U.S. savings bonds as well as other types of Louisiana lost property with roughly 1 in every 6 of the state's residents.

Over 80,000 people in Baton Rough alone, due nearly $27 million, are listed in the Louisiana unclaimed funds databases. The State Treasurer recently stated, "The state owes Louisiana residents millions of dollars in unclaimed property, and we want to give this money back." Louisiana's Unclaimed Funds Law requires the State Treasury Dept. to print names of individuals and businesses who are owed money in newspapers across the state each year on top of making other efforts to track down the rightful owners. At a recent "Awareness Day" that was held at the Lakeside Shopping Center, the Louisiana Dept. of Treasury gave back $133,000 in unclaimed funds owed to residents 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."

According to the State Treasurer, "The state owes Louisiana residents millions of dollars in unclaimed property, and we want to give this money back."

At an "Awareness Day" that was held at the Lakeside Shopping Center, the LA Department of Treasury gave back $133 thousand in unclaimed property owed to residents 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."
