Thursday was National Unclaimed Property Day, and Arkansas kicked it off with the “Great Arkansas Treasure Hunt.” 

One in four Arkansans are owed money from things ranging from utility deposits, stocks, or even items left behind in safe deposit boxes.

Arkansas State Auditor Dennis Milligan wants to make sure you get any money that is owed to you by introducing a new websitewhere people can go to see if they have any of the more than 400 million in unclaimed cash owed to Arkansas.

Milligan says some people have a lot of money coming to them and that 1 In 4 Arkansans are owed money. Not only people could find unclaimed money on the website, but companies- both those still in business and those closed — plus non-profits.

Claiming any money you have coming to you is easy. All you must do is go to claimitar.gov to see if any funds are owed to you. 

Once on the website, click search under claiming property, and type in your first and last name. 

It will then let you know if you are owed anything.
