Eligibility questions

These questions help you decide whether to read the official notice. They are not a legal determination.

Are you searching for money that may be owed to you, or that was owed to a deceased relative you can legally represent?

Official sites usually allow heirs to claim after they prove authority. Confirm the rules on the official page.

Do you understand that the official government search and claim process is free?

USA.gov and NAUPA say you can search official sites at no charge. Finder services may charge a cut.

Did you live in the United States during the relevant period?
