Question 1

How much unclaimed property is held for Long Island residents?

Accepted Answer

Long Island residents account for an estimated $1.5 to $2 billion of New York's $17+ billion unclaimed funds — driven heavily by multi-generational estate property and former NYC employer pension residuals.

Question 2

Where do I search Long Island unclaimed money?

Accepted Answer

Long Island claims, like all NY state claims, are searched at the Office of the State Comptroller: osc.ny.gov/unclaimed-funds.

Question 3

Can I claim a deceased Long Island relative's unclaimed property?
