Majority of people have already received their stimulus checks in the summer, but there is a vast amount of people who have yet to see anything from the IRS. This due to the fact that the IRS may not have the correct address or some other mailing problem causes the check to return to IRS. When this happens the check then becomes unclaimed. Currently there is no clear vision as to what will happen next, but various ideas bounced by the IRS suggest that these unclaimed checks will be applied as a tax refund for the following year. When looking at a state of Illinois we found that more then $5 million dollars have been returned to the IRS due to the mailing problems. In addition some families and individuals who qualify for tax refunds will not be getting their refund any time soon due to again mailing problems. The amount of these refunds is close $3.5 million.

In the current economic state this money surely could help a little in the great state of Illinois.

FoundMoney.com is keeping a track of unclaimed money and assets, this includes IRS refunds.

If you would like for IRS to have the correct address simply follow these instructions from their website

Address Change
I have moved since filing my 2007 tax return. How will my payment reach me?
A. Filing Form 8822, Change of Address, with the IRS and a change of address notice with the U.S. Postal Service will help ensure that any mail from the IRS, including your stimulus payment check, is sent to your new address. If the check has already been mailed and you did not provide the IRS with an updated address, the check will most likely be returned to the IRS. You may call the IRS at 1-866-234-2942 to provide your new address so that steps can be taken to have the check reissued.

So don't delay, update your current address and you could be getting more checks.

Charlotte Area News, N.C. reports “There's $163 million in economic stimulus money still out there waiting to be delivered. Thousands of checks have been returned to the IRS because of incorrect addresses, and if you haven't gotten yours yet, you're running out of time.”

Unclaimed money from generated by the stimulus checks has been on a steady rise. The IRS is facing many problems that are revealing on their own. For one there IRS has many “glitches” resulting in incorrect mailing addresses, how can this be? They never seem to forget my address when they need money from me? More then 270,000 stimulus checks have been returned due to incorrect address in N.C alone.

Not all is lost, by law if the checks are not mailed by the end of the year, then the money will be applied towards a tax credit for the following’s year taxes. I would like to see how this tax credit would be applied. There may be many cases where this credit would not reach the intended recipient due to incorrect information. So instead of waiting for the check we strongly urge everyone who has yet to receive a stimulus check to inquire.

Today a lot of people in most countries have unclaimed money in one form or another. How can this be? World wide estimate would be only a guess as to how much money is actually unclaimed. But there are many fine examples of unclaimed money here in the united states. For example the state of Colorado in addition to its list of unclaimed money has an additional $4.8 million of unclaimed money from the IRS. These checks were sent by the Federal Government as a part of the stimulus package, also now know as “economic stimulus checks”. In the city of Denver there are 1,700 plus checks that are unclaimed. With a total population of 432,870 18 years and older citizens(US Census 2000), 1 in 254 has an unclaimed economic check waiting. When people move they do not reflect their change of address with many institutions like banks, IRS and others, as such these economic checks have not been delivered.

United Kingdom, France, Germany and many other countries are just learning how to come with unclaimed money. New Zeeland Inland Revenue department keeps their own list separate from any others. In this list we have not been able to fund any funds below $100(NZ) dollars. While many accounts are around the $1,000 dollar mark, quite a few of them hold large sums of money. For example Foat, Earnest Harry from NZ is owed some $7,681 dollars.

In a country like UK the estimate of unclaimed money and property is in excess of £15 billion, that’s is more then $24 billion American dollars. Based on the World Fact Book, United Kingdom has a population of 50,619,441 over the age of 15 and that amounts to approximately $500 per person.

England and Wales have also a fast rising of money going unclaimed. Kirklees Council in the Yorkshire Pennines is having the largest amount of unclaimed money a massive £113,000.

I strongly urge you to search for your unclaimed money. Sometimes this may take 5 seconds or 5 minutes. A lot of people search just for their own last name, forgetting about his or her parents and relatives. Many people in the past have left insurance policies or old bank accounts they didn’t tell anyone about. In the pre-computerization era of banking these bank accounts were recorded manually and when someone passed away they were just sitting there. Today they exist in the form of unclaimed account and there are many.

While the news is dominated with elections and economy, few pay attention to the vast amount of dollars that are left unclaimed. In the state of Ohio very few people actually check for unclaimed accounts that could belong to them. Department of Commerce’s Division in Ohio has reported very that fewer people claim missing money accounts. These accounts range from few dollars to as much as several thousands. While there may be a few accounts holding 5 figure amounts, the estimate is that average claim is between $600 to $1200 dollars. This is money that people could use right now. It is not something to be taken lightly, with recent economic downturn the state of Ohio could be strapped for funds and turn into these unclaimed accounts for help. These accounts belong to their rightful owner, and eventually majority of these accounts find a happy ending.

What surprises me is that if a majority of people found their missing and lost money; that could potentially be enough to give the economy a boost. With the estimated billions of dollars left unclaimed nation wide, this could be something our economy could use right now. Foundmoney.com is the original missing money search engine that allows people to find their lost and forgotten money, while the service is guaranteed so you got nothing to loose, I urge you to search today.

Millions of dollars are going unclaimed in Indiana. For example the economic stimulus payments in Lafayette area amount to over $300,000. That means there are thousands of residents who still need to file their Economic Stimulus tax returns

Director of Social Justice Patti O'Callaghan said the Lafayette Urban Ministry want to help those who still need to file.

"There is a certain population of people that are not required to file taxes because they don't make enough money to be required to file taxes, or they only receive Social Security benefits or Veterans disability benefits that they don't normally pay taxes on and so they don't normally have to file taxes, …
That's what this stimulus package was really supposed to do. Get it in the hands of people to then stimulate the economy," said O'Callaghan.

But a lot of these economic stimulus returns could go unclaimed. When they do, foundmoney will make best efforts to track these unclaimed payments.

For over 10 years, FoundMoney.com has been the original unclaimed money search engine. With the advent of the technology, you might think that there is one central place to look for unclaimed property and assets, a nation wide database. The fact is that ten years ago no such system existed, with some government departments and authorities treating clients like a thug when you inquired about these accounts. This is why Found Money was born. Today, Found Money is not just a leader in finding these records, but in addition, it assists people who do not receive the full co-operation of the government in obtaining their money.

The following is the response of the Department of Treasury official website in regards to questions about unclaimed property:
“We receive many requests from people inquiring about the possibility that the Federal government is holding unclaimed government funds due to them. There is no government-wide, centralized information service or database from information on unclaimed government assets may be obtained. Each individual Federal agency maintains its own records and would need to research and release that data on a case-by-case basis. The only unclaimed asset information that would be in the possession of the Department of the Treasury would pertain to outstanding Federal government check issue records or outstanding savings bonds, Treasury bills, Treasury notes or Treasury bonds.”

The website further states “For you to determine whether any unclaimed funds are being held by the Federal government, you must determine the type of benefit or payment that could be involved, the date on which the payment was expected, and the manner in which the check should have been drawn.” These are the reasons why FoundMoney has been so successful for over a decade. We have developed a system that searches every database possible. For a small flat fee, you can search any and all databases as many times as you wish. With the addition of our unclaimed money monitor, you can be at ease knowing that when a financial institution looses your money, the Foundmoney monitor will notify you in a timely fashion.
