No, I'm not acting like the Dalai Lama or Dr. Phil talking about everlasting love or divine peace. What I am talking about, though less spiritual, is nevertheless significant in our lives and will most likely get your attention as much as anything a religious leader or a cultural icon can say. I am talking about cash. $8 billion in New York unclaimed money and property, to be precise, just waiting to be given back to thousands of their owners who are almost certainly busy trying to make money, ironically. According to State Comptroller for New York, Thomas P. DiNapoli, "We want to return unclaimed funds to their rightful owners. The money belongs to New Yorkers. We want to give it back."

Sometimes we get so busy in our lives looking for that 'something' that can make it all worthwhile. We get so engrossed in our day to day tasks that most of us do not realize that what we are looking for is right there under our noses. No, I'm not trying to be Dr. Phil or the Dalai Lama talking about divine peace or everlasting love. What I'm talking about, though not spiritual, is still significant in our life and will most likely get your attention as much as anything a cultural icon or a religious leader will say. I'm talking about cash. 8 billion dollars in New York unclaimed money and property, to be precise, just waiting to be reunited with thousands of their owners who are almost certainly busy attempting to make money, ironically. According to New York's State Comptroller, Thomas P. DiNapoli, "We want to return unclaimed funds to their rightful owners. The money belongs to New Yorkers. We want to give it back."
There are laws across the nation called Unclaimed Money Laws or escheat laws that require businesses and financial entities to pass along lost and abandoned financial assets like safe-deposit bank contents, unused gift certificates or cards, stock dividends, unredeemed insurance policies, forgotten bank accounts, uncashed checks, uncollected salaries and other funds to each State's Treasury Departments after a certain 'idle' time called the 'dormancy period'. This period varies from state to and property type to property type. In New York though, it is either 2 or 5 years depending on the type of asset. The size of the New York unclaimed property pile is one of the biggest in the nation – even larger than California's $5 billion. The money goes in to the state's Unclaimed Money Fund where it sits until the rightful owner comes to claim it.
When people change their address, get new jobs, or marry and change their last names, they sometimes forget to give a notice to the financial institutions such as their banks or the IRS. This results in undelivered mail and financial notices and tax refund checks then do not reach their intended recipient and are sent back to sender. The more chaotic a person's career is, therefore, the greater the odds that they'll lose track of their financial assets. Knowing the notorious hustle and bustle of NYC, it isn't surprising it is home to so much unclaimed money and property.
