Most people don’t know the government owns accounts with their money in it, and the government sets time limits on when people can collect their own money. If the time limit expires, so does your ability to get your money back, and it’s all perfectly legal for them to keep your money if you don’t collect it in time.

This sounds terrible, doesn’t it? Well, it’s a fact the government can keep your money hidden away in an account and not tell you about it and then legally keep it forever if enough time passes. The expiration could be anywhere from a few months to a few years after the account is created, but once that expiration date has passed, you have no recourse whatsoever. The government gets to keep your money forever.
