You may be wondering why I have titled this article as "Unclaimed Money Texas". Well, it appears that there are more inquiries for claims coming out of Texas. Why this is, I don't know, but the people of Texas appear to know how much is in the pot of unclaimed money in the United States. It is wise that you know too.

There are startling statistics about unclaimed money in the US. You will be surprised to learn how much is in the pot, and why it is difficult to discover the process in which to make a claim.

Here are some facts:

1. An estimated 7 out of 10 Americans are owed unclaimed money.
2. $1,000, $5,000... even $10,000 claims are not uncommon.
3. The U.S. Government DOES NOT have one central database for unclaimed money.
4. There is, right now, approximately 35 Billion dollars of unclaimed money, property, stock, cash and more. And the US Government is earning interest on it!

Look at fact 4 above. Notice that the US Government is earning interest on that money. I believe this is why it is made to be difficult to make a claim. If you do your research, you will find this difficulty to be true.

It is not only money that goes unclaimed, but property too.

There are some US States that take further advantage of this money and property. Unclaimed money has been known to be seized, and one State generates about $400 million in annual revenue from this source. Don't forget - this is YOUR rightful money being seized.

If you DO - and I seriously recommend that you do - look into making a claim, then beware of all the scams that are around. There are people and agencies that will make the claim for you... for a fee. Some of these services are legitimate, but many are not. For instance, some States put a cap on what these services can charge, so if you go this route, be aware of this.

I have done my research and found a great resource for the unclaimed money and property process. Alas there was no money for me, but I did find my mother $4200! Believe me, this was a GREAT feeling, maybe even better than if the money had been mine. And since then I have helped others find their unclaimed money too. It still amazes me how much unclaimed money there is out there. So my advice to you is to find out if you have a claim. It is YOUR money after all.
