"Find Unclaimed Money: Free Searches in Alabama, Ohio, and Washington"
Alabama State Treasurer Young Boozer encourages residents to search for unclaimed property for free online through the state treasury's website, treasury.alabama.gov, as the state currently holds over $1 billion in unclaimed funds. Unclaimed property includes financial accounts or items of value that have had no activity for years, and the state returned $50.7 million to citizens in 2023. Residents are urged to check the database annually, and can search using their name, business name, or family members' names.
