Wow, thanks a lot for posting this. I didn’t find any money for myself, but I did locate over $200 in a 20+ year old payroll check for my dad. He’s already promised me a finder’s fee. :o)

Frizzy — that’s very surprising. Are you sure you spoke to the right person with Massachusetts? The states all work directly with NAUPA. If the person you spoke to had never heard of NAUPA, then the only explanation is you spoke to the wrong person.

My company uses these resources all the time without any problem… well, sometimes there are communication problems, but not normally.

My recommendation still stands. But you can certainly file your claim with Massachusetts directly through this link. It never hurts to go through the state directly if there are any questions about Missingmoney.com, but it’s official and hasn’t presented a problem for us.

I have some disturbing follow-up to my claim found through MissingMoney.com. (I can’t find my post here from last week on this subject, or I would post below it…)

When I didn’t hear anything after filling out my on-line claim — and stupidly including my ss# on it — I called the State of Massachusetts this morning and they said they never received anything at all from MissingMoney about my claim. They said they have no affiliation with them and can’t answer for why my claim never went to them. VERY UPSETTING. Massachusetts had never heard of NUAPA, either. I wouldn’t recommend these sites unless someone can answer for what happened to my claim.

Whatever I have sitting in that little bank account from decades ago, it isn’t worth what my social security account number is worth.

I recently did this and was amazed to find I had like $28 sitting there from an old EZPass account in Maine. I was also amazed that after filling out the online form, they sent me a check in about two weeks. I imagine not all claims would be so easy, but it’s definitely worth a look!
