The New Jersey Department of Treasury’s Unclaimed Property Administration is holding $6.3 billion in forgotten assets in New Jersey. That according to an article in the Asbury Park Press.

33 million people don't even know this money is out there.

That's crazy!

The Asbury Park Press states:

"Our Unclaimed Property Administration works diligently year-round to safeguard and reunite people with unclaimed assets,” said State Treasurer Elizabeth Maher Muoio. “In doing so, UPA has broken its own records for returning property to rightful owners for two consecutive years. This remarkable success is a testament to UPA’s commitment to its overarching mission and an example of public service at its finest.”

So what is this money that some New Jersey residents don't even know anything about?

It could be old bank accounts, unused rebate cards, uncashed paychecks and traveler's checks, among other things.

The big question is how do you know if the state is holding your property?
