Received a letter from Find My Money? Here is what it means.
The funds we referenced are real and are being held by the California State Controller's Office. You can verify this yourself before calling us or signing anything. We encourage it.
searchVerify the funds yourself first
Before you call us or sign anything, confirm the money is real. The California State Controller's database is public and free. Here is how:
Go to the official State Controller search
Visit claimit.ca.gov , this is the official California State Controller's website, not a third-party site.
Search your full legal name
Enter your name exactly as it appears on the letter. Also try former names, middle initials, and name variations if you do not see results immediately.
Confirm the property is there
You will see the property listed with the name of the original holder , a bank, employer, insurance company, or other institution. That is your money. The State has been holding it until the rightful owner claims it.
Then decide how to proceed
You can file the claim yourself for free through the State, or contact Find My Money and we handle everything. Either way, you now know the money is real.
We actively encourage you to verify before calling. A legitimate firm has nothing to hide.

How to spot a fraudulent recovery firm
Legitimate firms never ask for money upfront. They never ask for your bank account number to deposit funds. They show you exactly where the funds are on claimit.ca.gov before you sign anything. If someone claims you have unclaimed property but will not tell you where it is or asks for a fee before recovering anything, that is a scam. Find My Money shows you the funds first. Always.
If you decide to work with us
Simple process. Most of the work is ours.
You sign one page
A simple one-page agreement online. Takes about two minutes. We handle everything after that.
We prepare everything
We gather documentation, prepare all forms, and schedule a mobile notary to come to you , about 20 minutes of your time.
We file and track
We file with the State Controller and track the claim through to completion. Most claims resolve in three to six months.
The State pays both of us
You never pay us directly. The State Controller sends your check to you and our fee to us separately. We only get paid when you do.
