Alaska Lost Unclaimed Money Search – Part 2 of 2

(Part 2 of 2)

There are over 300 thousand accounts of Alaskan unclaimed funds on the state list and 12 thousand new items are added to this list each year. Every Alaska resident should do a forgotten funds search because it is quite surprising who's name pops up on the list of owners of unclaimed property. Hawaiian Airlines, the Russian Airline company Aeroflot, the Alaska USA Federal Credit Union, China Airlines, even KTVF-TV and KIAK radio have claimable money waiting for them in AK. Even government entities are owed lost cash! School districts and local governments in Barrow, Anchorage, Kenai and Juneau are among the names listed in over a dozen unclaimed funds accounts. The names of former State Governor Tony Knowles, his wife Susa, former Gov. Steve Cowper, former Gov. Bill Sheffield, former Lt. Gov. Lowell Thomas Jr., are also listed as being owed money. These people are public officials, easy to track down but they have yet to discover their unclaimed funds being held by the state.

According to the AK Unclaimed Property Division of the Governor's office in a recent report, "The Unclaimed Property (UCP) staff conducts searches for property owners by selecting recently reported properties from the division's database and using online tools to locate the owners. The target is to search for 50 owners each month, however when there are fluctuations in staffing and/or workload the UCP places a priority on responding to claims requests from property owners which involves verifying claims and processing payments." In light of this, it would be in the best interests of all residents of Alaska to take some initiative, begin an internet search for unclaimed funds and find out if they are owed cash by the state. The wild Forget-Me-Not is AK's official state flower, and residents would definitely not want to forget about their assets in the Treasurer's hands either.

Alaska Lost Unclaimed Money Search – Part 1 of 2

(Part 1 of 2)

In 1880, Canadian Prospector Joe Juneau brought about the gold rush era by finding gold in AK. America's chilliest state is also home to the largest oil field in North America and its primary source of revenue is the natural gas and oil industry. But there's another source of wealth that most residents of America's Last Frontier have not yet discovered- Alaska unclaimed money and property. AK has the lowest population density in the entire country – which means that life is not really very busy or hectic compared to more densely populated cities like New York. It is strange, then, that according to an article by Fairbanks' The News-Miner, tens of thousands of residents of Alaska have unclaimed funds waiting for them in Juneau, the state capital.

People and businesses sometimes lose track of their assets while changing addresses, names, or closing shop and just plain forgetting. Unclaimed money comes from abandoned assets such as long-dormant bank accounts, uncashed checks, forgotten stocks and stock dividends, insurance policies, income tax refunds, and other financial assets. The AK Unclaimed Property Act requires the companies holding these to turn them over to the state if their owners can not be located after a certain period of inactivity. This 'dormancy period' in AK is one year for utilities, five for stock shares and checking and savings accounts, 7 years for non-bank money orders and fifteen years for traveler's checks. Contents of safe deposit boxes are the only tangible assets covered under the act.

People and businesses often lose track of their assets while changing addresses, names, or closing shop and just simply forgetting. Unclaimed money comes from lost assets like forgotten stocks and stock dividends, insurance policies, income tax refunds, long-dormant bank accounts, uncashed checks, and other financial assets. The Alaska Unclaimed Property Act requires the companies holding these to turn them over to the state if their rightful owners can't be found after a specified period of inactivity. This 'dormancy period' in Alaska is one year for utilities, five years for stock shares and savings and checking accounts, seven years for non-bank money orders and 15 years for traveler's checks. The only tangible assets covered under the act are safe deposit box contents.

There are more than 300 thousand accounts of Alaskan unclaimed properties on the state list and 12,000 more items are added to this list each year. Everyone should do an abandoned assets search because it is very surprising who turns up on the list of owners of abandoned property. the Alaska USA Federal Credit Union, China Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, the Russian Airline company Aeroflot, even KTVF-TV and KIAK radio have claimable assets waiting for them in Alaska.
