(Part 1 of 2)

Generally when people think about the state of Idaho, what do they usually think of? Potatoes of course. Lots and lots of potatoes. But there's also a huge pile of another item that you could say is "no small potatoes" – Idaho unclaimed money. Idaho's lost assets fund has swollen to a whopping 40 million dollars and counting and all of this money belongs to citizens wise enough to locate it and claim it.

The majority of people find it hard to believe that average Idaho citizens have managed to just abandon 40 million dollars, and that citizens across the nation have abandoned almost $40 billion (yeah, with a "b", billion), but it's really true and the chances that any given person is owed unclaimed property are greater than the odds that they aren't due a claim. The reason for this is that these abandoned assets come from such a large variety of sources. According to the web site of the Idaho State Tax Commission, the dept. responsible for handling these assets: "These include stocks, bonds, mutual funds, bank accounts, uncashed payroll checks, utility deposits, traveler's checks, contents from deposit boxes, and more. Most of the assets are ones that people didn't know they had or just forgot about, and sometimes they are worth thousands of dollars."

In order for money to be deemed abandoned or "unclaimed", it has to lie dormant for a time period that is specific to each type of asset and state. Idaho considers most types abandoned after 5 years of inactivity, though some are available for claiming after only one year.

In order for cash to be deemed abandoned or "unclaimed", it has to lie dormant for a time period that is specific to each state and type of asset. ID considers most kinds abandoned after five years of dormancy, though many are available for claiming after only 1 year.

There are a number of reasons why money may go unclaimed, but it's often as simple as not leaving a forwarding address for previous employers or financial institutions. If a piece of mail gets sent back to the sender, and the rightful owner doesn't contact the holder within the dormancy period, the holder is then required by law to pass the funds along to the state.

The problem ID has, like all other states, is reuniting lost assets with its true owners. Despite state awareness efforts and popular media coverage, the majority of people are still just unaware of unclaimed property. Even those that have heard about unclaimed property usually don't have any idea where to start their search. There are a handful of people actively searching, but even those people don't know all the methods they need to utilize to maximize their odds of locating claims.

For the reasons noted above, ID is now holding more than 40 million dollars in unclaimed property, and that figure is sure to grow, because more and more money is turned over to the state each year and it exceeds the amounts given back to the citizens. For this reason, it's extremely important that those who are serious about searching for forgotten funds, learn how expert finders find these monies, and then put these same tactics in to action in their own attempts. There are wrong ways to search, and right ways to search, and until people figure out the difference there are a number of hurdles that can get between them and their money.

Usually when people think about the state of ID, what do they usually think of? Potatoes of course. Tons and tons of potatoes. But there is also a massive pile of something else that you might say is "no small potatoes" – Idaho unclaimed money. ID's lost assets fund has grown to to the tremendous amount of 40 million dollars and counting and all of this cash belongs to citizens wise enough to find it and claim it.

The majority of people find it difficult to believe that average ID residents have somehow just abandoned 40 million dollars, and that Americans across the nation have abandoned nearly $40 billion (yeah, with a "b", billion), but it's really true and the odds that any given person is owed unclaimed property are better than the odds that they aren't due a claim. The reason for this is that these forgotten funds come from so many different sources. According to the web site of the ID State Tax Commission, the dept. charged with handling these assets: "These include stocks, bonds, mutual funds, bank accounts, uncashed payroll checks, utility deposits, traveler's checks, contents from deposit boxes, and more. Most of the assets are ones that people didn't know they had or just forgot about, and sometimes they are worth thousands of dollars."
