As recently as October 2007, it had been determined by the Office of the State Treasurer of South Carolina that the state is currently holding 200 million dollars that belongs to citizens who need only come forward and make their claim on it, if they can track it down. In spite of increased efforts to reunite South Carolina unclaimed money with the rightful owners, which lead to a record annual return of $900,000 in Sept. 2007, the heap of cash is still growing.
Each year, South Carolina, like most states, continues see more money turned in than it is able to give back to the rightful owners. The main problem is the fact that most people are completely unaware that these monies are out there, which is obvious, or they would not ever have forgotten about them long enough for them to be classified "unclaimed". Even those who have heard about the billions of dollars in unclaimed money across the nation generally do not know how to go about finding them.
South Carolina is what is called a "custodial state", and that means that they don't ever actually "own" your funds, they simply hold on to them for you, and there is no time limit under which you must claim your funds. Even though there are many different types of unclaimed money, the SC state treasurer lists the following as the most common sources under the Palmetto Payback Program: forgotten utility deposits, unclaimed insurance proceeds, unexchanged shares of stock, uncashed dividend checks, uncashed checks (including paychecks), and dormant bank accounts.
South Carolina unclaimed money is given to the state treasury after lengthy periods of being inactive. These periods of time are called "dormancy periods", and each type of unclaimed asset has its own. Some are just one year, but many years have to pass for many other types of assets to be given to the state. Even more important to know is the fact that and employee of the state must manually input the account information in to the state's database %if there is to be% public, searchable record. For those reasons, among others, it's important that anyone who is serious about locating their abandoned assets, search frequently and search on the proper web sites.

SC unclaimed money is passed along to the state treasury office after long periods of showing no activity. These periods of time are known as "dormancy periods", and each type of unclaimed cash has its own. Most are only 1 year, but a number of years must pass for many other types of funds to be passed along to the state. Even more important to know is the fact that and employee of the state must physically input the account information in to the state's system %if there is to be% public, searchable record. For those reasons, among others, it's important that anyone who is serious about finding their abandoned assets, search frequently and search on the proper sites.
Many sites promise a database, but more often than not it is not very reliable. Not only are they generally out of date, but many of them are just totally fake. These sites use "teaser" search results to hook a sucker by convincing them that they're due X amount of money, when in reality that dollar amount is really completely random. Essentially it is a dishonest sales tactic.
Beyond not knowing which sites to search, people also need to realize that they should search outside of SC. A lot of people have relocated to SC after having spent most of their lives in many other states. Others may have always resided in SC, but if they had an out of state insurance company or and employer's corporate headquarters is based in a different state, then there's a good chance that they are still owed cash, but SC wouldn't ever have a record of these monies. It is very important to check the state listings of every state where a person may have had any type of business connection.
It cannot be overstated, having the assistance of unclaimed money pros in your search for unclaimed money is incredibly important. A pro in this field can help you overcome all the issues that plague many searchers, including those mentioned in this article.

As recently as Oct. 2007, it was determined by the Office of the State Treasurer of SC that the state is currently holding two hundred million dollars that belongs to South Carolinians who only need to step forward and make their claim on it, if they know how to track it down. Despite increased efforts to reconnect South Carolina unclaimed money with the rightful owners, which actually lead to a record annual return of 900 thousand dollars in Sept. 2007, the pile of assets continues to grow.
Every year, SC, like most states, continues see more money turned in than it is able to return to the rightful owners. The main reason is the fact that most residents are not aware that these monies are out there, which goes without saying, or they would not ever have abandoned them long enough for them to be deemed "unclaimed". Even people who are aware of the billions of dollars in unclaimed money all across the country usually don't know how to go about tracking them down.
SC is what is known as a "custodial state", and that means that they don't ever actually own your funds, they simply hold them for the owners, and there is no time limit under which you are required to claim your cash.
