(Part 1 of 2)

As recently as October 2007, it had been determined by the Office of the State Treasurer of S. Carolina that the state is currently holding two hundred million dollars that belongs to citizens who only need to come forward and make their claim on it, if they know how to locate it. Despite increased efforts to reunite South Carolina unclaimed money with its rightful owners, which lead to a record annual return of 900 thousand dollars in September 2007, the mountain of money grows larger every year.

Each year, S. Carolina, like most other states, continues to take in more money than it's able to return to the rightful owners. The main problem is the fact that most people are completely unaware that these assets even exist, 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 money across the nation usually do not know how to go about tracking them down.

Some web sites promise a database, but most of the time it is anything but reliable. Not only are they often not current, but many are just down right bogus. These web sites use "teaser" searches to hook a sucker by telling them that they're owed X amount of money, when that dollar amount is really completely random. Essentially it is a misleading sales tactic.

In addition to knowing where to search, people also need to remember to search outside of S. Carolina. A lot of people have moved to S. Carolina after spending their lives in one or a number of other states. Other people may have always resided in S. Carolina, but if they had a policy with an insurance company out of state or and employer's corporate headquarters is based in a different state, then there is a good chance that they are still owed assets, but S. Carolina would never have a record of these monies. It's important to search the state records of each state where a person may have had any type of business connection.

It can't be overstated, having the assistance of unclaimed money experts 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 the few mentioned in this article.

Unclaimed Millions In Taylor County: Does State Have Some Of Your Money?
The state of Texas may be holding some money that is yours.

(Part 1 of 2)

As of Oct. 2007, it was calculated by the Office of the State Treasury of S. Carolina that the state is currently holding two hundred million dollars that belongs to residents who need only come forward and make their claim on it, if they can find it. In spite of increased efforts to reunite South Carolina unclaimed money with the rightful owners, which actually lead to a record annual return of $900,000 in Sept. 2007, the mountain of money is still growing.

Every year, S. Carolina, like most states, continues see more money turned in than it is able to give back to the people. The main problem is the fact that most people are not aware that these monies are out there, which goes without saying, or they would likely never have abandoned them long enough for them to be considered "unclaimed". Even those who have learned about the billions of dollars in unclaimed money all across the country generally don't know how to go about finding them.

S. Carolina is what is known as a "custodial state", and that means that they don't ever actually "own" your assets, they just hold on to them for the owners, and there is never a time frame under which you are required to claim your funds. While there are dozens of different sources of unclaimed money, the SC state treasurer lists the following as the most common sources under the Palmetto Payback Program: dormant bank accounts,uncashed checks (including paychecks), unclaimed insurance proceeds, forgotten utility deposits, uncashed dividend checks and unexchanged shares of stock.

S. Carolina unclaimed cash is handed over to the state treasury office after significant periods of showing no activity. These periods are known as "dormancy periods", and each type of unclaimed property has its own. Most are only a year, but many years must pass for some types of property to be handed over to the state. Even more important to know is the fact that and employee of the state must physically enter the account information in to their database %if there is to be% public, searchable listing. For these reasons, among others, it's important that anyone who is serious about finding their missing money, search often and search on the right web sites.
