Unclaimed money amount

Most states do not list the exact amount that is being unclaimed. The usually have a >100 or <100. My question is how do you find out the exact amount a person has coming without exposing too much information about how to find this information to the customer, which then they can do for themselves?

From Mark
Scott,
When you say they have a >100 or <100 it seems to me that you are referring to unclaimed money lists that you can find online.

The lists that we use come from the states unclaimed money departments themselves. With these lists, you do get the full amounts owed.

Not every state gives the dollar amount on their list. As I mention throughout the site, we are located in New York, but we do not search in New York because they do not have the dollar amounts listed (which is one of the reasons they owe the most money out of all the states, over $10.5 billion).

So, basically, in answer to your question, you want to go the state(s) directly to get the list from them. You also want to make sure they show the dollar amounts.

I hope this helps.
