As a LISA member, you get access to curated tools and resources — including the Missing Money Navigator, which guides you to official state and federal unclaimed-money search sites.
U.S. state governments are currently holding over $70 billion in unclaimed property — forgotten bank accounts, uncashed checks, insurance payouts, utility deposits, and more. Roughly 1 in 7 Americans has unclaimed property in a state database right now. Most people never think to check — the official search takes minutes.
The Missing Money Navigator guides you to official state and federal unclaimed-money search sites. You search and claim directly through those sites.
