States hold billions in unclaimed funds - quickly see if you're owed any

If a company owes you money and can't/doesn't get in touch with you, the money is often turned over to the state.

You can easily search to see if there are any unclaimed funds being held for you (search in each state you've lived in) and make a claim. I didn't have any luck for myself, but found my siblings nearly $200, a coworker $20, and a bunch of other friends/relatives that are owed money.

I just researched and wrote a blog post about this that has some helpful links, but the main ones are MissingMoney.com and Unclaimed.org
