"Unclaimed Wages: Are You Owed Money in the Midwest?"
TL;DR Summary
The U.S. Department of Labor reports that over 4,700 workers in Missouri and Kansas are owed a total of $2.4 million in back pay, with a significant amount remaining unclaimed due to difficulties in locating some of the workers. An online search tool called Workers Owed Wages (WOW) has been created to help workers nationwide determine if they are owed back pay. If unclaimed, the Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division can only hold the funds for three years before turning them over to the Department of the Treasury.
