Arizona may be holding free money for you. It sounds too good to be true, but it's not. Read below to find out if you have free money waiting for you.
Unclaimed Property is money owed to people and companies that gets turned over to Arizona when companies can't find people to pay it back. For example, if you move and you don't tell your utility company your new address, they don't know where to send your refund check. In this case they would turn the money over to Arizona as Unclaimed Property. Arizona would then hold it until you come and claim it. Some states take the money after a certain number of years, while some hold unclaimed funds indefinitely.
Here's the important thing - you could have free money waiting for you!

According to this May 2022 Arizona Department of Revenue article, the State of Arizona is holding over One Billion Dollars in unclaimed funds.
Over Seven Million people live in Arizona, so that means Arizona is holding over $257 per resident! Not every resident has unclaimed funds, so that means the average claim is much higher. Usually 1 in 5 to 1 in 10 people have unclaimed assets waiting for them, which would make Arizona's average claim between $1,285 and $2,570.
Some common examples of unclaimed propert include:.
Many times people forget they have accounts open with companies, or move companies that owe them money can't find their new address. For example, electric companies, natural gas companies, phone companies, and others often owe people money when they move, but can't find the person's new address to send them a check. After a certain time period the company must turn that money over the the state, and the state holds it until the owner comes to claim it. Approximately 1 out of every 10 people in the US have unclaimed money waiting for them, they just have to claim it.
