Wyoming Is Holding A Record Ammount Of Unclaimed Cash

This is an ad that should get your attention.

It's not a scam. It's money owed by Natrona County and it needs to be claimed.

Those in Natrona County are owed nearly 16% of the $110 million in Unclaimed Property being held by the State of Wyoming.

It only takes about 2 minutes to search your name at www.mycash.wyo.gov to see if you are entitled to a share of the $17.53 million linked to a Natrona County address.

The State Treasurer's office is encouraging Wyoming residents to visit www.mycash.wyo.gov to see if any of the State's $106 million in unclaimed property is theirs.

Back in 2023, the Unclaimed Property Division of the Wyoming State Treasurer’s Office shattered the previous records, returning $10.64 million.

The office paid out using 9,342 checks issued over the 2022-2023 fiscal year representing a 31.8 percent increase over the previous record of $8.072 million.

“Our Unclaimed Property Fund keeps getting bigger and bigger, no matter how much money we return to its rightful owners,” Wyoming State Treasurer Curt Meier said. “To me that’s really eye-opening when you consider our payments to citizens of the Cowboy State are up more than 30 percent from the previous record.”  (Sweatwater Now).

At this point, you might be wondering where this unclaimed property and money is coming from.

This is money or property turned over when a business, agency, or governmental entity owes money, securities, and/or the contents of a safe deposit box. But they can't locate the owner.

When this happens the money is turned over to the state. The search then begins for the owner.

Is that you?
