How to claim money from Kansas
- Search on missingmoney.ks.gov under your current name and every former name (maiden name, a misspelling, with and without a middle initial).
- Open each match and check the address on file. It is the address the business had for you, which may be years old.
- File the claim on the state's site. Expect to show ID and proof that you lived at that address, such as an old bill, lease or tax form.
- For a relative who died, file as their heir or executor with a death certificate and proof of your relationship or authority.
- Then search every other state you or they lived in. Money stays in the state of the old address, not the state you live in now.
Don't remember every old address?
That is the usual reason money goes unclaimed: it sits in a state from two or three moves ago, under an address nobody remembers. The same is true when you search for a parent or grandparent. A people search shows the past addresses tied to a name, which tells you exactly which states to check. Run the search above, then use the dark box to see the address history.
