Search for Forgotten Funds in South Carolina – Part 1 of 2

admin — Wed, 16 May 2012 08:05:10 +0000

(Part 1 of 2)

As recently as October 2007, it had been calculated by the Office of the State Treasury of South Carolina that the state is currently holds more than two hundred million dollars that belongs to citizens who need only come forward and claim it, if they know how to find it. Despite increased efforts to reunite 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 cash is still growing.

Every year, South Carolina, like most other states, continues to take in more money than it is able to hand back to the rightful owners. The primary problem is the fact that most people are completely unaware that these funds are out there, which is obvious, or they would likely never have abandoned them long enough for them to be considered "unclaimed". Even those who have heard about the billions of dollars in unclaimed property nationwide generally don't know how to go about locating them.

South Carolina is what is referred to as a "custodial state", which means that they don't ever actually "own" your assets, they simply hold on to them for you, and there is no time frame under which you must claim your funds. While there are many different types of unclaimed property, the SC state treasurer names the following as the most common kinds 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 property is handed over to the state treasury after long periods of inactivity. These periods are referred to as "dormancy periods", and each kind of unclaimed asset has its own. Most are only 1 year, but many years have to pass for many other types of property to be handed over to the state. Even more important to know is the fact that a state employee must actually input the claim information in to the state's database %if there is to be% public, searchable record. For those reasons, among others, it is very important that anyone who is serious about tracking down their abandoned assets, search often and search on the right web sites.

SC unclaimed money is passed along to the state treasurer's office after lengthy periods of being inactive. These periods of time are called "dormancy periods", and each type of unclaimed cash has its own. Many are only 1 year, but many years must pass for many other types of assets to be passed along to the state. Even more important to know is the fact that a state employee has to manually enter the account information in to the state's database %if there is to be% public, searchable record. For those reasons, among others, it's very important that people who are serious about finding their abandoned assets, search frequently and search on the right web sites.

Many web sites promise a database, but more often than not it's anything but reliable. Not only are they often out of date, but many are just totally fake. These web sites use "teaser" searches to entice a searcher by telling them they are due X amount of money, when that dollar amount was generated at random. Basically it's a dishonest sales tactic.

In addition to knowing which sites to search, searchers also need to realize that they need to search outside of SC. A lot of people have relocated to SC after spending most of their lives in one or a number of other states. Others may have always resided in SC, but if they had a policy with an out of state insurance company or the corporate headquarters of an employer is based outside of the state, then there is a good chance that they are still owed money, but SC would never have a record of these funds. It's important to check the state listings of every state where somone may have had any type of business relationship.

It can't be overstated, having the advice of unclaimed property pros in your search for unclaimed property is incredibly important. A pro in this area can help you sidestep all the problems that hinder many searchers, including the few mentioned in this article.

As of October 2007, it was determined by the State Treasury Office of SC that the state is currently holding $200 million that is owed to residents who need only come forward and make their claim on it, if they can locate it. Despite increased efforts to reunite South Carolina unclaimed money with the rightful owners, which lead to a record annual return of 900 thousand dollars in September 2007, the heap of assets grows larger every year.

Each year, SC, like the majority of states, continues to take in more money than it's able to return to the people. The primary reason is the fact that most people are not aware that these funds even exist, which goes without saying, or they'd never have abandoned them long enough for them to be classified "unclaimed". Even those who are aware of the billions of dollars in unclaimed property all across the country usually do not have a clue how to go about finding them.
