Thousands of Ohioans have unclaimed money from forgotten bank accounts, rent or utility deposits, uncashed checks, or insurance policies.
The Ohio Department of Commerce Division of Unclaimed Funds provides an easy way to search for and claim these funds.
But with a website update coming in late February, access may be temporarily unavailable. Now is the time to check.
How to Search for Unclaimed Funds
Anyone can search the state’s unclaimed funds website by entering their name.
If a match is found, a claim form must be completed and submitted along with supporting documents, either online or by mail.
