Indiana Gave Back $56 Million in Unclaimed Money This Year β€” Yours Might Be In There

If you’ve ever wondered whether money you’re owed is just sitting somewhere waiting for you, Indiana has some exciting news.

Attorney General Todd Rokita’s Unclaimed Property Division has already handed back more than $56 million to rightful owners in just the first four months of the year. That’s real cash going back to real people and it could be yours.

The momentum isn’t new, either. In 2025 alone, the program returned a record $88 million, showing just how much unclaimed money circulates through the state every year.

Right now, nearly $1 billion still sits unclaimed across Indiana, waiting for people like you to lay hands on it.
 

What counts as unclaimed property?

It’s not just forgotten bank accounts. Unclaimed property can include:

  • Unpaid wages or commissions

  • Money orders

  • Contents from safe deposit boxes

  • Savings and checking accounts

  • Refunds or overpayments (like credit card balances, cell phone bill overcharges, utility refunds, and more)

Once the state takes custody, the Unclaimed Property Division works to find the rightful owner or their heirs.

And here’s the good part: you have 25 years to claim your money after it’s reported.
