In 1880 Joe Juneau, a Canadian Prospector, ushered in the gold rush era by finding gold in Alaska. America's coldest state also boasts the largest oil field in North America and its main source of revenue is the oil and natural gas industry. But there's another source of wealth that the majority of residents of America's Last Frontier have yet to discover- Alaska unclaimed money and assets. Alaska has the lowest population density in the United States – which means that life isn't really very busy or hectic compared to the country's more packed 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 money being held for them in Juneau, the state capital.

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 a good idea for residents of Alaska to take some initiative, begin an internet search for unclaimed money 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 money in the Treasurer's hands either.

In 1880, Canadian Prospector Joe Juneau ushered in the gold rush era by discovering gold in AK. America's coldest state is also home to the largest oil field on the continent of North America and its primary source of revenue is the oil and natural gas industry. But there's another source of wealth that the majority of residents of America's Last Frontier have not yet discovered- Alaska unclaimed money and property. AK has the lowest population density in the United States – which means that life is not really that hectic or busy compared to the country's more packed cities like New York. It is strange, then, that according to an article by Fairbanks' The News-Miner, tens of thousands of Alaskans have unclaimed money being held for them in Juneau, the state capital.


People and businesses sometimes lose track of their properties while changing names, addresses, or closing shop and just simply forgetting. Unclaimed property comes from lost assets such as forgotten stocks and stock dividends, insurance policies, income tax refunds, long-dormant bank accounts, uncashed checks, and other financial assets. The AK Unclaimed Property Act requires the establishments holding these to hand them over to the state if their rightful owners can't be found after a specified period of inactivity. This 'dormancy period' in AK is one year for utilities, five years for stock shares and checking and savings accounts, 7 years for non-bank money orders and 15 years for traveler's checks. Contents of safe deposit boxes are the only tangible assets covered under the act.


There are more than 300,000 accounts of Alaskan unclaimed properties on the state list and 12,000 new items are added to this list annually. Every Alaska resident should do a missing money search as it is very surprising who's name pops 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 AK. Even government entities are owed abandoned money! School districts and local governments in Anchorage, Kenai, Barrow and Juneau are among the names listed in over a dozen unclaimed money 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 apparently owed money. These people are public officials, easy to locate and they have yet to discover their unclaimed money being held by the state.

People and businesses often lose track of their properties while changing names, addresses, or closing shop and just simply forgetting. Unclaimed funds come from abandoned 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 establishments holding these to turn them over to the state if their owners can not be found after a specified period of inactivity.
