Search official databases for unclaimed money and prep claims

Utility deposits, old payroll checks, overpaid bills, dormant accounts and forgotten rebates end up with state unclaimed-property offices after a few years, especially after you move or change jobs. Checking every state where you have lived or worked means visiting separate government portals, trying name spelling variations, and reading fine-print claim instructions for each match.

You give a browser-capable agent your full name (including maiden or middle names), cities and states where you have lived or run a business, and approximate years. The agent searches official state unclaimed-property portals and national lookup tools such as MissingMoney.com and NAUPA links, records every plausible match in a table with the holder name, reported address, property type, amount band and claim URL, and lists the exact documents each state asks for. It stops before any identity or claim submission so you never enter a Social Security number, driver's license or bank details into an agent chat.

1. Write a list of your legal names, middle initials, and every city and state where you have lived, studied, worked, or registered a business
2. Point a browser agent only at official government unclaimed-property sites (such as MissingMoney.com and state treasurer portals ending in .gov)
3. Have the agent search each state for your name variations and filter results against the cities and street names on your list
4. Ask for a summary table: state, reporting company, property type, listed amount range, claim ID, and the direct link to the official claim page
5. Have the agent read the instructions for each match and list the required proof (such as an old utility bill, W-2, or photo ID) without filling in the form
6. Open the official .gov links yourself, verify the match, upload your ID documents directly, and submit the claim on your own

You verify each match on the state treasurer's site and submit every claim yourself. Never type or upload your Social Security number, tax ID, driver's license, or banking information into an AI agent; enter those only on the official government portal after checking the URL.

Look-alike finder websites charge a percentage fee or harvest personal data for claims that are free on state portals, so restrict the agent to official .gov sites and NAUPA-endorsed pages. Common names produce false matches, so check the reported street address and company before starting paperwork. Never let an agent sign a claim form under penalty of perjury on your behalf.

Compare the time spent searching across multiple states by hand with reviewing a single table of links, and track how many valid claims you actually file. Official state claims are free to submit directly.
