Can the Government Really Keep My Money?

Unfortunately, laws have been set in place that make it entirely legal for the government to keep your money if you don’t claim it in time.

How did this happen?

Well, unfortunately, there is a lot of abandoned money across the country due to a large variety of unfortunate circumstances. And the government agencies can only keep track of so much.

They can’t keep track of billions of dollars located in hundreds of thousands of accounts across the country for too long, it’s costly and time-consuming, and frankly, they just don’t have the capacity for it.

So it’s been written into law that after a specific amount of time, anywhere from six months to a few years, if the money has gone unclaimed, the government gets to keep it—FOREVER.

Don’t let that be you. If you’ve received a call or letter from us, give us a call today.
