What the money is

| Property type | Amount | What it usually is |
|---|---|---|
| Checking accounts | $589k | balances left in checking accounts after the bank lost contact with the account holder |
| Underlying shares | $418k | the shares themselves, not just their dividends, after the account went dormant |
| Insurance proceeds for beneficiaries | $397k | insurance proceeds payable to a named beneficiary, often a trust or a company |
| Individual insurance policy benefits | $364k | benefits or claim payments under an individual insurance policy |
| Group insurance policy benefits | $340k | benefits or claim payments under a group policy, such as an employer health or benefit plan |

Claiming it
A Glendale business claims from the Controller like any California business: an authorized person signs the Controller's claim form in wet ink, in front of a notary for $1,000 or more in cash or for any securities, and the package includes proof of authority, the FEIN and the address the holder reported. With 43% of local owners holding more than one record, it pays to search every name and address the business has used.
We do this for 10% of what the state pays, charged only after payment. Check your business or read how it works.
