The most southern of the Dakotas may be home to the national treasure that is Mt. Rushmore, but ND has its own treasure that's deserving of as much attention. According to the web site of the State Land Department, there is currently more than 23 million dollars in North Dakota unclaimed money, waiting to be handed back to the citizens who lost track of it somewhere along the way. The only thing getting between these citizens and their money, beyond knowing about the fact that these assets exist, is the know-how to track them down and claim them.
North Dakotans are blessed to reside in a state that is among the top 5 in the nation for percentage of unclaimed money given back to residents. Also keep in mind that the state has one of the lowest populations in the nation, at just over 640,000. Of course this means that ND residents have excellent odds of finding and claiming back money that is rightfully theirs.
The first rule of searching for unclaimed money is to search frequently. One of the biggest mistakes people often make is to search just one time on the first web site they see that has a search box and they end their search there. This doesn't take in to consideration that the vast majority of forgotten funds web sites do not have accurate data, and even the state's official records are often not quick to be updated. This is an issue, not only due to the fact that a person in a state office has to manually add the listing once it has been given to the state, but because there are different time periods which must go by, specific to each kind of abandoned asset, before they are turned over to the state.
Some of the most common types of forgotten funds are dormant savings and checking accounts, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, refunds, wages, payroll, salary, money orders, paid-up life insurance policies, deposits, commissions, uncashed checks, death benefits, dividends, insurance payments, and others. Most of those have dormancy periods of 1-5 years, which means that if it has only been a year or two when a person searches; they will not find a record for an asset that has a dormancy period of 3 or more years.

Some of the more common types of abandoned assets are payroll, paid-up life insurance policies, money orders, commissions, deposits, death benefits, uncashed checks, insurance payments, dividends, stocks, dormant savings and checking accounts, mutual funds, bonds, wages, refunds, salary, and others. The majority of these have dormancy periods of 1 to 5 years, which means that if it has only been 1 or 2 years when a person searches; they wouldn't find a listing for an asset that has a dormancy period of three or more years.
On top of needing to search the correct web sites often, a lot of people do not understand that they ought to search listings outside of North Dakota. Believe it or not, a person could actually have not ever been outside of the state of North Dakota, but have assets owed to them in other states. This occurs when money from insurance companies or employers come from other states. Quite often the actual corporate headquarters for an employer exists in a state other than where a given employee works. Because of this, unclaimed monies being held by institutions in these situations will be passed along to the proper division of the company's home state's treasury department. What this means is that North Dakota will never have any record of this cash, so a North Dakotan who hopes to track down and claim it would need to use the same search techniques in other states.
These are just a couple of the most common issues that hinder the searches of uneducated North Dakota citizens. But people can overcome these problemss, and a number of others, by spending a little bit of time studying up on the search practices used by professional searchers before jumping in head first.

The main rule of searching for unclaimed money is to search regularly. One of the most common mistakes searchers often make is to search only once on the first website they find that has a search box and end their search there. This doesn't factor in that the vast majority of abandoned assets sites do not have accurate data, and even the official state listings are often slow to be updated. This is an issue, not only because a person in a state office has to physically add the record once it has been given to the state, but because there are varying periods of time which must go by, unique to each type of abandoned asset, before they are turned over to the state.
