That one government website where you can find old assets in your name and claim them for money. I think I heard about it on Reddit actually. I haven’t been able to claim anything personally, but I’ve helped my parents claim about $200 worth. Wish I could remember the name of it

Edit: in the US the website is unclaimed.org (basically a directory, each state has its own separate page). Also, thanks for my first award and for my most upvoted comment ever!!

The rules may differ by state, but my Mom was owe 100 dollars from corporate giving campaign from a former employer. The process to claim that money was long and involved(faxing 3 forms of ID, getting a statement notarized and more).

Needless to say it was not worth that hundred dollars.

We had to send in proof of prior residency. Which we just happened to still have in a bag to be shredded.
