Unclaimed Money Alert: These States Are Sending Payments in July 2025

Many Americans don’t realize they have money waiting.

This July 2025, Alaska, New York, California, and other states are sending payments to eligible residents, funds that often go unclaimed due to missed notices, address changes, or simply not knowing you qualify.

Here’s what you need to know to check if you’re owed money this month.

 

Alaska: Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD)

What it is: The Alaska PFD pays residents who’ve lived in the state for at least one year using state oil revenues.

Amount: $1,702 per person in 2025.

Why it goes unclaimed: Residents often move, change banks, or don’t realize they need to confirm eligibility.

Payment timing: Traditionally paid between September and October, but early disbursement is expected for some in mid-July.

How to check: Visit myPFD.alaska.gov to confirm your eligibility. Look for “Eligible Not Paid” to see if funds are waiting.

 

New York: STAR Credit Payments

What it is: New York’s School Tax Relief (STAR) Credit offers property tax rebates to homeowners.

Amount: Between $350 and $1,500 depending on your property and location.

Why it goes unclaimed: Homeowners may miss mail notices, forget to update banking details, or assume they’re not eligible.

Payment timing: Disbursed in stages based on local school tax schedules, with many checks arriving from June through mid-July.

How to check: Use the STAR Credit Delivery Tool to track your payment and confirm your eligibility.

 

California: Climate Stimulus Rebates

What it is: California is providing inflation and climate relief payments to help with rising costs.

Amount: Up to $725 per eligible recipient.

Why it goes unclaimed: Many residents don’t realize they qualify, especially if they don’t check the state refund site.

Payment timing: Rolling out this summer into fall 2025.

How to check: Visit California’s Franchise Tax Board to verify your eligibility and claim your payment.

 

Other States Issuing Payments

States like Georgia, Florida, and Massachusetts are also sending rebates and direct aid in 2025.

Many residents miss out on these funds because they’re unaware the programs exist or that they qualify.

Action: Check your state’s tax or benefits site for details on current rebates.

 

Why You Might Have Unclaimed Money

Payments often go unclaimed due to:

  • Moving without updating your address

  • Changing bank accounts

  • Unopened mail or overlooked notifications

  • Assuming you don’t qualify

A quick check can ensure you claim the money you’re owed.
