I heard on Good Morning America that you can search for lost money thru the Treasury Department of each state. So I typed in “lost money, NC” and sure enough I found some. It had to do with life insurance (Metropolitan).
On Saturday, I received a check for $612.35. Wow
It was kind of a hassle but it was worth it.
I printed out a form and followed the instructions. I sent it to NC with a copy of my drivers license, proof that I lived at the address listed and it had to be notarized. It took 2 months to get it back.
So, check every state you lived in and see if you have any money anywhere. Maybe you forgot to close out a checking account or something like that.
