Has anyone actually received monies back that your state has been holding?

I got an email from a buddy of mine to check the Washington State Dept. of Revenue Unclaimed Property Department to see if I was owed any money. Low and behold, I do seem to be owed some money. "Over $100" to be exact

So I did my due diligence and figured out that this isn't a scam and sent them the required info.

So, has anyone actually gotten $$$? If so, how much?

Yes.  Grandfather who died in 1962 had life insurance thru a mutual company.  Company converted to a stock company, he ended up with a few shares.  Nobody caught this when he died.  Iowa publishes the list every year, some one who knew the name called mom.  I looked into it, and sure enough it was for Grandpa.  Got the paperwork together, sent it in, mom, her sister and brother ended up splitting just under two grand.

Just got my check from the Texas State Comptroller yesterday.  I had submitted my claim in early November.

Everyone I know that has filed to claim money held by the state has gotten a check within a month. My ex-wife helped several of her relatives track down money, and they all got what they claimed.
