Wyoming State Treasury Is Holding Over $100M in Unclaimed Property – Is Any of it Yours?

Each year, the Wyoming State Treasurer's Office reports literally millions of dollars in unclaimed property. It only takes a few very simple steps to find out if any of it is yours and how to file a claim.

As of November 2021, despite record amounts of payments over the past few years, Wyoming’s Unclaimed Property Division is holding on to more funds than ever, as the amount of money now being held exceeds $100 million.

The Wyoming State Treasurer's Office gives a clear and concise definition of what actually constitutes unclaimed property as:

Unclaimed property is money that is left behind and turned over to the state to hold for the rightful owners. It includes but is not limited to utility deposits, unpaid wages, insurance proceeds, securities, savings and checking accounts. The Unclaimed Property Division receives new property every year.
