There are quite a number of roadblocks that often prevent people from tracking down their missing money, but most boil down to being uninformed about the correct way to search. Most people not only get in their own way by searching only one state, usually the one they live in, but they also tend to search once and end never search again.
As was mentioned earlier, each type of Virginia unclaimed property, and unclaimed property in all other states, have their own individual "dormancy periods" (years that must go by before the assets are handed over to the state to hold the rightful owner claims them). In addition to many property types having longer dormancy periods, states don't update their searchable records immediately, which means if the state is holding your funds, you may not find a record when searching, if they have not added it to their system.
If a citizen searches their name on Monday, but the Virginia Dept. of Unclaimed Money doesn't get around to adding the record of their funds until Tuesday, or the next week, month, or year, the search might return a false negative.
These are just a handful of the hurdles that often get in the way of people attempting to locate Virginia unclaimed money for the first time, which is why it is imperative that you find someone with experience in the missing money field to guide you through the process to find all potential claims.

Unclaimed money is piling up
In a country where deficits and poverty are rampant, unclaimed money is an irony — but a huge reality. Be it un-banked cheques, deposits with banks, finance companies and post-offices, or investment in tax saving schemes and life insurance policies, the unclaimed sums can be significant.

Virginia is waiting for Virginians to step up and reclaim their lost money. The state currently sits atop a pile of Virginia unclaimed cash totaling in the tens of millions of dollars. More than $27 million was returned to residents of Virginia in 2005, and that's only a small slice of what's available for claim.
The state of Virginia, like all other states, continually takes in more unclaimed money than it returns, primarily due to the fact that most people simply are unaware of these funds, and those that are aware, don't know the proper way to search for them. There is a correct way and an incorrect way to search, and the truth is that most people have not learned the proper way.
According to the Unclaimed Property Division of the Virginia Department of the Treasury, Virginia unclaimed property comes from quite a number of sources, which include (but are not limited to): savings and checking accounts, underlying shares, wages or commissions, credit balances, dividends, customer deposits, credit memos, gift certificates, refunds.
People don't need to currently live in Virginia to be owed unclaimed money, especially sense the majority of accounts must lie dormant for 1 to 3 years before they're handed over to the state, and the laws dealing with other types don't require that they be handed over for 7, 10, even 15 years! Moving out of state does not mean that you've forfeited the money at all.
On top of people who have moved out of state, others may have never lived in Virginia. For example, some people are employed by companies that have their headquarters in Virginia. Additionally, insurance companies are quite often based outside of the home state of the insurance policy holder. For these reasons (among others), items like stocks, premium overpayments, and refunds may exist as unclaimed cash in Virginia, even if the rightful owner has never even visited the state!
People who live in Virginia should also search in other states where there might be a chance they're due a claim, for the same reasons that people who do not live in Virginia should search the Commonwealth's records.

People who reside in VA should also search in other states where there's a chance they are owed money, for the same reasons that people who do not live in VA should search the state's records.
There are a number of roadblocks that often prevent people from locating their abandoned assets, but most of them boil down to being uninformed about the right way to search. Most people not only hold themselves back by searching only one state, usually their home state, but they also tend to search once and end never search again.
As was mentioned earlier, each kind of VA unclaimed property, and unclaimed property in all other states, have their own unique "dormancy periods" (number of years that must pass before the assets are turned over to the state to hold until you claim them). In addition to many property types having longer dormancy periods, states do not update their searchable databases immediately, which means if the state is holding your funds, you might not find a listing when searching, if they haven't added it to their system.
If a person searches their name on Monday, but the VA Department of Unclaimed Property didn't get around to adding the listing of their funds until Tuesday, or the following week or month, the search might come up empty.

The Commonwealth of Virginia is waiting for citizens to step forward and take back their forgotten funds. The state is currently sitting atop a pile of VA unclaimed money totaling in the tens of millions of dollars. Over $27 million was returned to Virginians in 2005 alone, and that's just a small slice of what is yet to be claimed.
The state of Virginia, like every other state, continues to take in more unclaimed cash than it returns, primarily due to the fact that most people are simply unaware of these funds, and the few that are aware, don't know the proper way to track them down.

According to the Unclaimed Property Division of the VA Treasury Department, VA unclaimed money comes from a number of sources, which include (but are certainly not limited to): savings and checking accounts, underlying shares, wages or commissions, credit balances, dividends, customer deposits, credit memos, gift certificates, refunds.
A person doesn't need to currently live in VA to be owed unclaimed property, particularly sense most accounts must be abandoned for one to three years before they are turned over to the state, and the laws dealing with other types do not require that they be turned over for 7, 10, even 15 years! Moving out of state does not mean that you've given up your rights to the money by any means.
In addition to people who have left the state, others may not have ever even lived in The Commonwealth of Virginia.
