The Nebraska State Treasurer’s Office has returned more than $30 million in unclaimed money and property in just the past 16 months — but millions more remain unclaimed.
Every year, thousands of residents are surprised to learn the state is holding forgotten assets, refunds, or investments in their name.
Unclaimed property comes from dormant bank accounts, insurance payouts, uncashed paychecks, mineral royalties, and other financial holdings that go untouched for years.
When companies can’t locate the rightful owner, the funds are transferred to the Unclaimed Property Division for safekeeping.
