Unclaimed Funds
Reuniting Ohioans with their Hard Earned Money
Many Ohioans may be owed money that they don't even know about. Accounts are claimed by the State when "over a specific period of time there has been no activity and the holder of the funds cannot locate the owner."
These "Unclaimed Funds" may include savings, checking or certificate of deposit accounts; payroll (wages, bonuses, commissions); stocks and bonds (uncashed dividends, interest checks or underlying shares principle); insurance proceeds; credit balances; customer deposits; travelers checks; money orders and other intangible interests or benefits. The State holds them until you claim these funds.
(NOTE: The Lucas County Auditor maintains the Lucas County Unclaimed Funds listing, which is comprised of payments that were not redeemed by the payee at the time of original issuance.)
You can now use the tools below to find out if you are owed any of this “lost” money.
