The State of Florida has piles of money and if you are or previously were a resident of Florida, some of this treasure could be yours.

The state collected approximately $22.8 billion in 2003. This money belongs to people who have not come forward to claim it. The amount of funds collected in 2003 is 44% more than that collected in the previous year.

According to the report, banks and insurance companies are placing this cash into accounts owned by the businesses. Due to the Sarbanes-Oxley corporate reporting law has allowed for more unclaimed property.

There are a growing number of Americans who could find significant amounts of cash belonging to them. They just have to know where to find it. In one case a man from Louisiana was owed $750,000.00 worth of stocks and dividends from the state Government.

Over the years much of the funds collected by the Government included, unpaid payroll checks, or abandoned bank accounts and inheritances. The amount of unclaimed money has now expanded due to the new laws that are in place.
