According to the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators (NAUPA), Treasury Departments in each of the 50 states are holding over $35 billion in abandoned assets, belonging to American citizens. Unclaimed money outreach programs like the one KS State Treasurer Jenkins promotes are only slightly making up for the lack of a centralized government system for abandoned assets. Roughly 928,303 owners of roughly 200 million dollars in unclaimed money in KS are still unaccounted for though, and the KS Unclaimed Property Division of the Treasury Department will hold on to the KS unclaimed money until residents and other citizens nationwide come forward to claim it.

Luckily, people don't need to wait for the KS State Fair to come by in order to see if they are owed KS unclaimed money. The individual states maintain databases for unclaimed money owners now and an unclaimed money search can be done wherever there's an Internet connection. So, if you need extra cash ASAP, you can actually do an online search right now from where you are. The tricky part is doing a search for unclaimed money in multiple state databases (a good idea for those who have lived in more than one state). A centralized database for national unclaimed money does not exist, so it's quite easy to go on an internet wild goose chase if you don't know where and how to look.

If the Midwest is America's breadbasket, it might mostly be because of KS, who's Sumner County is known as The Wheat Capital of the World. According to recent news reports, the KS State Treasury's Unclaimed Property Division has become a basket for something even more valuable. Not edible, but certainly more sought after – American currency in the form of Kansas unclaimed money.

Over $20 million in KS unclaimed money is taken in by the state each year. These funds come from forgotten financial assets handed over by insurance companies, banks and other financial entities who are required by law to pass them along to the state after 3-5 years depending on the type of property. Lost assets come from abandoned savings accounts, old checking accounts, dividends, alimony payments, bonds, child support payments, old paychecks, and other similar assets whose owners have somehow forgotten about or inherited without their knowing it.

Lynn Jenkins, Kansas State Treasurer, attempts to reunite as much of the unclaimed money in KS with the state's residents via outreach events and programs for owners of the KS unclaimed money. Her office sets up booths in public places like the Kansas State Fair in Hutchinson and shopping malls. An average of 700 is handed out annually at the fair to largely shocked owners of the lost money. "We always look forward to attending the fair," Jenkins noted in a recent press release. "It gives us an opportunity to meet fellow Kansans and for them to search our records for their lost or forgotten cash and property." "As always, we were very impressed with the fair organizers and the city of Hutchinson," she adds. "The State Fair is a good old fashioned family tradition and part of what makes our state so great."

Kansas State Treasurer, Lynn Jenkins, tries to reunite as much of the unclaimed funds in Kansas with the state's citizens through outreach events and programs for owners of the Kansas unclaimed funds. Her department sets up booths in public places like the Kansas State Fair in Hutchinson and shopping malls. An average of $700 thousand is given back yearly at the fair to mostly surprised owners of the abandoned assets. "We always look forward to attending the fair," Jenkins noted in a recent press release. "It gives us an opportunity to meet fellow Kansans and for them to search our records for their lost or forgotten cash and property." "As always, we were very impressed with the fair organizers and the city of Hutchinson," she adds. "The State Fair is a good old fashioned family tradition and part of what makes our state so great."

According to the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators (NAUPA), Treasury Departments in all of the 50 states are holding over 35 billion dollars in unclaimed assets, owed to American citizens. Unclaimed money outreach programs like the one Kansas State Treasurer Jenkins uses are only slightly making up for the lack of a centralized government system for unclaimed assets. Approximately 928,303 owners of roughly 200 million dollars in unclaimed funds in Kansas have still not been found though, and the Kansas Unclaimed Funds Division of the Treasury Dept. will hang on to the Kansas unclaimed funds until residents and other citizens across the country step forward to claim it.

Fortunately, people don't have to wait for the Kansas State Fair to come around in order to see if they are owed Kansas unclaimed funds. The individual states maintain databases for unclaimed funds owners now and an unclaimed funds search can be done anywhere there is an Internet connection. So, if you need extra funds ASAP, you can actually perform an online search right now from where you are. The tricky part is doing a search for unclaimed funds in multiple state databases (a good idea for those who have resided in various states). A national centralized database for unclaimed funds does not exist, so it is very easy to go on an online wild goose chase if you don't know where and how to look.

If the Midwest is America's breadbasket, it might mostly be because of Kansas, who's Sumner County is called The Wheat Capital of the World. According to recent reports, the Kansas State Treasury's Unclaimed Funds Division has become a basket for another vital commodity. Not edible, but definitely more desired – American currency in the form of Kansas unclaimed money.

Over 20 million dollars in Kansas unclaimed funds is collected by the state every year. These funds are from abandoned financial assets turned over by banks, insurance companies and other financial institutions who are by law required to pass them along to the state after three to five years depending on the type of property.
