From $5 to Thousands: What Kentuckians Are Finding in Unclaimed Money

If you live in Kentucky, there’s a real chance money is sitting in your name.

State officials say more than $100 million in unclaimed property has already been returned to residents, with payouts ranging from small amounts to thousands of dollars.

What counts as unclaimed money

Unclaimed property is more common than most people think. It can include:

• Old bank accounts
• Uncashed checks
• Insurance payouts
• Utility deposits
• Other forgotten financial assets

These funds are turned over to the state after a period of inactivity, but they still belong to the original owner.
