NYS Office of Unclaimed Funds is holding $16.5 BILLION in Lost Money – refunds, lost payments, overpayments, and the like from financial institutions, insurance companies, vendors, etc. Any money not claimed within a timely period “escheats” to the state (NYS keeps it), so be sure to check the website regularly and claim your funds. Every day New York State returns $1.5 million to those who file claims. The amount of unclaimed funds returned so far in 2021: $34,600,228. Here is the website: www.OSC.State.NY.US/Unclaimed-Funds. Happy hunting!
