On February 1, 2025, State Treasurer Deborah B. Goldberg and the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators (NAUPA) will be celebrating National Unclaimed Property Day… and you should be too!

In 2021, to increase awareness of unclaimed property, NAUPA launched the first National Unclaimed Property Day. Then and now, it is a day to encourage everyone to search missingmoney.com to determine if a state is holding their property, including in Massachusetts where one in ten residents have it.  

The Unclaimed Property Division is currently holding over $3.4 billion. Treasurer Goldberg urges all citizens to review the state’s comprehensive list for all amounts at FindMassMoney.gov or call our live call center at 888-344-MASS (6277).

“It’s Unclaimed Property Day, so take a minute to check for your name or a family member, a friend, and even a business that might be listed,” said State Treasurer Deborah B. Goldberg. “Our team is ready, willing and able to walk you through the process and reunite you with your property.”

Unclaimed property includes forgotten savings and checking accounts, un-cashed checks, insurance policy proceeds, stocks, dividends, and the contents of unattended safe deposit boxes. Most accounts are considered abandoned and are turned over to the state after three years of inactivity. In 2024,

Treasury processed over 131,000 claims and returned $191 million in property to its rightful owners.

There is no time limit for a person to recover this property and, in many cases, claimants will receive interest. Searching is always free by using FindMassMoney.gov.
