Most states also have an "Unclaimed Property" website, for non-Social-Security misrouted money. Like if you close your account with some company, but then you immediately move and leave no forwarding address so your deposit check can't be mailed to you, legally, they have to turn it in to the state, and then it must sit there forever until you come. I've thoroughly checked the one in Texas for everyone I know--my dad had 8 cents in there from some utility company years and years ago... my sister-in-law had over $300 in there from when she worked for a state university... a friend's dad had two separate $100+ checks from State Farm Insurance... It's worth doing a search to see if your state has their list online!
