Does NH Have Your Money?

The state of New Hampshire holds on to unclaimed funds until they are claimed by a rightful owner or that person's heirs – and some of that may be yours. Many people who have unclaimed cash don't even know about it. What is unclaimed property?

"Unclaimed assets include, but are not limited to: savings or checking accounts, uncashed checks, payroll and wages, matured certificates of deposit, stocks, bonds or mutual funds, travelers' checks or money orders, gift certificates, insurance company demutualization proceeds and death benefits from life insurance policies," according to the New Hampshire State Treasury website.

It does not include real estate or vehicles.

How do you find out if you're missing out on money that's rightfully yours? You can search online, call 1-800-791-0920 Monday through Friday from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. or keep an eye out for the annual Notice of Names of Persons Appearing to be Owners of Abandoned Property. This year’s notice appeared in the Union Leader on Oct. 19 and 22.

Once you find your property, you can click to claim it and again to file your claim.
