If you currently live in New York, have lived in New York or have worked for a company in New York, you should check with the New York State Comptroller to see if you have property owed to you.
First, visit New York’s State Comptroller Office by clicking Search For Lost Money. There, you can conduct your search to see if you are owed any funds by the state of New York.
Enter your last name or organization name and click Search. You can narrow down your results by adding a middle initial or a city of residence on the search results page.
If you often use a nickname or your name is frequently spelled wrong, search for those names as well. Review the results to determine if any of the returned names are you.
Should you determine that funds are owed to you, you will now need to file a claim to receive your funds.
