UTAH

Unclaimed money in Utah, and how to ask for it.

Search for your children as well, if they have ever had an account in their own name. A custodial account that was forgotten is held under the child's name, not the parent's.

Search Utah — free, official

Goes straight to the Utah State Treasurer. We take no cut and ask for nothing.

The whole thing, in three steps

  1. Search Utah itself. The Utah State Treasurer runs the official search at https://mycash.utah.gov/. Your name is enough to start.
  2. Then search every other state you have ever lived in. This is the step most people skip. Money is handed to the state of the last address a company had on file for you, so it sits in a state you moved away from years ago. The list of all fifty official offices is at unclaimed.org.
  3. Then the eight federal searches. Savings bonds, pensions from closed plans, failed banks, closed credit unions, undelivered tax refunds, FHA refunds, veterans' insurance and money held by federal courts. They are all on our front page, each with its official link.
Two things worth knowing before you start

The state will almost never contact you first. If somebody phones and offers to "release" your money for a fee, that is not Utah — that is a finder, and you do not need one.

And the honest number: most people find tens of dollars, not thousands. It is still your money, and the search costs nothing but twelve minutes.

A new list of open refunds, every Tuesday

Courts and regulators order refunds every week and hardly anybody collects them. We publish the open ones with the official link beside each, and it costs nothing to look.
