Unclaimed properties are intangible financial assets (aside from safe deposit box contents) that have been deemed 'abandoned' by the owners. State law requires these assets to be handed over to the state after a specified period of dormancy. According to the OK Dept. of Treasury site, "Evidence of this inactivity includes failure to cash a check, the return of a check or correspondence by the Post Office as undeliverable, or the absence of any communication from the owner."

According to the General Provisions of OK's Unclaimed Funds Rules, qualifying 'intangible property' comes from the following sources: (A) monies, checks, drafts, deposits, interests, dividends and income; (B) credit balances, customer overpayments, gift certificates, security deposits, refunds, credit memos, unpaid wages, unused airline tickets, and unidentified remittances; (C) intangible ownership interests in businesses like stocks; (D) monies deposited to redeem stocks, bonds, coupons and other securities, or to make distributions; (E) amounts payable and due under the rules of specific insurance policies; (F) amounts payable and due under the rules of mining or mineral leases; and (G) amounts distributable from custodial or trust funds created with a plan to provide profit sharing, stock purchase, supplemental unemployment insurance, employee savings, welfare, health, pension, severance, vacation, death, retirement, among other benefits.

People lose track of these assets when they relocate and do not remember to leave behind a forwarding address which results in uncashed and lost checks and the like. Death is also a common cause of financial assets being lost especially if there's not a will and the next of kin cannot be found. Most of the time, unclaimed money owners just plain forget about their finances in the busy lives they live.

Residents of OK and other states should check and do an internet unclaimed money search. They might just find out the government owes them money this time rather than the other way around.

The city of Antlers, OK bills itself "The Deer Capital Of The World". By the city's name alone, one can surmize that a number of bucks are prancing around in the woods of OK. But hundreds of millions of lost bucks are also in the State's Treasury Dept. and, you guessed right – they are not brown and furry and their not prancing around. I'm talking about the 260 million dollars in Oklahoma unclaimed money sitting around in the State Treasury Office. These assets are owed to about 350,000 residents who have somehow lost track of them at some point. The primary reason the state's fund got so massive is because the majority of the owners do not even know they have cash being held by the state!
