The state of Virginia is waiting for citizens to step forward and claim their lost money. The state is currently sitting on top of a heap of Virginia unclaimed funds totaling in the tens of millions of dollars. More than twenty-seven million dollars was returned to Virginians in 2005 alone, but that's only a fraction of what is available for claim.
Virginia, like all other states, continues to take in more unclaimed cash than it returns, mainly because the majority of people simply are unaware of these monies, and those that are aware, usually 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 haven't learned the correct way.
According to the Unclaimed Property Division of the Virginia Treasury Dept., Virginia unclaimed money arrives 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.
A person doesn't need to currently live in Virginia to be owed unclaimed property, especially sense most accounts must lie dormant for 1 to 3 years before they're handed over to the state, and laws governing other types don't require that they be handed over for seven, ten, even fifteen years! Moving out of state does not mean you've given up your rights to the money at all.
In addition to people who've left the state, some people may not have ever even lived in The state of Virginia. For example, some folks work for companies that have their headquarters in Virginia. Additionally, insurance companies are often located outside of the state of the insured person. For these reasons (among others), things like stocks, premium overpayments, and refunds may exist as unclaimed property in Virginia, even if the true rightful owner has never even visited the state!

In addition to people who've moved out of state, some people may have never lived in The state of 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), properties like stocks, premium overpayments, and refunds may exist as unclaimed money in Virginia, even if the rightful owner has never even been to the state!
People who live in Virginia should also search in other states where there might be a chance they're owed money, for the same reasons that people who do not live in Virginia should search the state's records.
There are a number of different stumbling blocks that often prevent people from tracking down their forgotten funds, but most of them boil down to the searcher being uninformed about the correct way to search. Most people not only get in their own way by checking the records in only one state, usually their home state, but they also tend to search once and call it quits.
As was mentioned earlier, each type of Virginia unclaimed property, and unclaimed property in all other states, have their own unique "dormancy periods" (years that must pass before the assets are handed over to the state to hold until you claim them). In addition to some property types having long dormancy periods, states do not update their searchable listings in real time, which means if the state is holding your funds, you may not find a listing when searching, if they have not added it to their online records.
If a person searches their name on Monday, but the Virginia Dept. of Unclaimed Money 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.
These are just a handful of the hurdles that often stand in the way of people trying to locate Virginia unclaimed cash for the first time, which is why it's important that you find someone with experience in the missing money field to help you through the process to track down all possible claims.

The state of Virginia is waiting for Virginians to come forward and claim their missing money. The state is currently sitting atop a pile of Virginia unclaimed funds totaling in the tens of millions of dollars. More than $27 million was returned to residents of Virginia in 2005 alone, and that's only a small slice of what's still waiting to be claimed.
The state of Virginia, like all other states, continues to take in more unclaimed cash than it returns to citizens, primarily because the majority of people are simply unaware of these funds, and those that are aware, don't know the correct way to locate them. There is a right way and a wrong way to search, and sadly most people have not been taught the correct way.
According to the Unclaimed Property Division of the Virginia Dept. of the Treasury, Virginia unclaimed money comes from a number of different 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 have to currently reside in Virginia to be owed unclaimed funds, particularly sense most accounts must be abandoned for 1 to 3 years before they're handed over to the state, and the laws dealing with other types do not require that they be handed over for seven, ten, even fifteen years! Leaving the state does not mean that you've forfeited the money by any means.

A person doesn't need to currently live in Virginia to be owed unclaimed property, particularly sense most accounts must be dormant for one to three years before they're turned over to the state, and laws governing other types don't require that they be turned over for seven, ten, even fifteen years! Moving out of state doesn't mean you've forfeited the money at all.
In addition to people who've moved out of state, some people may not have ever even lived in Virginia. For example, some folks are employed by companies that have their headquarters in Virginia. Beyond that, insurance companies are often based outside of the home state of the insurance policy holder. For these reasons, items like refunds, premium overpayments, and stocks might exist as unclaimed money in Virginia, even if the true rightful owner has never even been to the state!
People who reside in Virginia should also search the records of other states where there's a chance they're due a claim, for the same reasons that people who do not live in Virginia should search the state's listings.
There are a number of stumbling blocks that often prevent people from tracking down their forgotten funds, but most boil down to the searcher being uninformed about the best way to search. Most people not only get in their own way by searching only one state, usually their home state, but they also tend to search just once and call it quits.
As was mentioned earlier, each kind of Virginia unclaimed money, and unclaimed money in each of the other 49 states, have their own individual "dormancy periods" (number of years that must pass before the assets are turned over to the state to hold the rightful owner claims them). In addition to many property types having long dormancy periods, states don't update their searchable records immediately, which means if the state is holding your properties, you might not find a record when searching, if they have not added it to their system.
If a person searches their name on Monday, but the Virginia Department of Unclaimed Money doesn't get around to adding the record of their properties until Tuesday, or the next week or month, the search might come up empty.
These are just a handful of the issues that often get in the way of people trying to locate Virginia unclaimed cash for the first time, which is why it is important that you find an expert in this field to guide you through the process to locate all potential claims.
