[quote=Anonymous]I did, from New York State.

I had forgotten to cash in some old fashioned bearer bond coupons.  Those are pieces of paper, payable on submission to a bank.  I had them in my possession but the funds were given to NY State because I hadn't cashed them in about 4 years.  Because the redemption process is a pain in the ass.  And it was about $270 total.

I filled out a form.  I think I needed it notarized.  I included a photocopy of the coupons and mailed it off.  I got my money eventually without further fuss.

There are a lot of people whose families bought insurance policies in their names a long time ago.  And the insurance companies changed corporate format to become traded corporations.  That's called demutualization.  As a result, policy owners became entitled to stock or cash value of the stock.  And not all of them could be located.  So a distant divorced cousin-in-law of mine was in the New York system where I found my name.  I called her and she was able to get her owed money as well.

Make sure you are dealing with actual state governments...not finders who take a cut...and you should be fine.[/quote]
