The Nebraska State Treasurer’s Office has returned more than $30 million in unclaimed property over the past 16 months, helping thousands of residents recover forgotten assets, refunds, and accounts that rightfully belong to them.

The state’s Unclaimed Property Division reunites Nebraskans with missing money from old bank accounts, uncashed checks, insurance payouts, utility deposits, and even mineral rights that were never transferred.

How Unclaimed Property Works in Nebraska

When financial institutions, insurers, or businesses cannot locate the rightful owner of funds or property, they are legally required to send it to the state’s Unclaimed Property Program.

The Treasurer’s Office then safeguards those unclaimed assets until the owners or heirs come forward to claim them.

Between January 2024 and April 2025, Nebraska processed:

• 75,871 unclaimed property claims

• 30,450 approved payments

• Over $30.2 million returned to residents

Amounts ranged widely, from just a few cents to nearly $2.5 million.
