Find Unclaimed Money in GA – Part 1 of 2

(Part 1 of 2)

A report released recently by the Chattanooga Times announced that millions of dollars in GA lottery winnings go unclaimed in GA and TN. Officials from the lottery say this is primarily due to people that buy lottery tickets while passing through and forget to see if they've won or not.

According to another news article though, a bigger amount of Georgia unclaimed money is being held by the State Treasury Dept.. Hundreds of millions of dollars in forgotten funds are held by the state gov. and most people living in Georgia are unaware that it exists. An elderly resident of the state, Catherine Westbrook, was very aware though but she became frustrated when she attempted to get a twelve hundred dollar check from a forgotten life insurance policy. "When I didn't get it for two or three weeks, then I called and they would say, 'No, the check wasn't written, hasn't been written' — that's all they would tell me.", said Westbrook who, after getting her check 5 months later, adds: "I don't know why they take so long to write a check."

GA's Unclaimed Funds Law or escheat law (which originates from feudal laws in Great Britain) states that abandoned and forgotten assets such as uncashed checks, gift certificates, insurance premium overpayments, income tax refunds, bank accounts, uncollected wages, cash dividends on stocks and mineral deposits, and others have to be handed over to the state after a specified 'dormancy period'. This period for GA is between 1 and 5 years for unclaimed financial assets. "Dormant funds are remitted to the State of Georgia. Demand deposit accounts are deemed to be dormant after 12 months and time and savings accounts are deemed to be dormant after a period of five years without activity", according to an official statement from Georgia's State Treasury. In a press release from the GA Dept. of Revenue's Unclaimed Money Unit, "The time that must elapse for property to be determined "abandoned" and turned over to the state varies depending on the type of property. For example, unclaimed wages and company liquidation proceeds must be turned over to the state after one year. The vast majority of unclaimed property must be turned over to the state five years after the last contact with the rightful owner. Time frames for other types of property are: safe deposit box contents must be forwarded to the state two years after the box was opened by the holding financial institution; money orders seven years after the issue date; and traveler's checks 15 years from the issue date."
