Obviously for those residents who use (or have used) a safe deposit box, it's very important to get started on your search quickly if the items have a sentimental value to you, but worst case scenario is that you will get the proceeds if your items sell.

The only thing keeping missing cash from becoming found cash, for most people, is the knowledge about how and where to search.
Countless myths exist about unclaimed funds. The most common of which is that performing just one simple internet search on any old web site is doing a thorough search. Sadly most of these "official" searches, are anything but, and their information is quite often very outdated if not completely wrong, and only there as a sales hook. The other myth is that the state's databases are accurate and up to date.
There is not a uniform rule that dictates when the states, including Missouri, has to update their unclaimed funds databases. For this reason, one of the best things people can do is search regularly. If your cash has only been determined to be "unclaimed" recently, it likely won't appear in Missouri's database until it's first been handed over by the account holder, and then whenever the state treasury department adds the record.

According to Sarah Steelman, Missouri unclaimed money recently grew to the giant sum of $400 million. This heap of money is likely to grow, because like in most states, Missouri takes in more unclaimed funds every year than is returned to the citizens. Among the varied reasons why these funds continue to go unclaimed, is the fact that most people aren't aware of unclaimed funds, and the few that are aware don't know the right way to search.
As we see Missouri unclaimed funds numbers approaching a half of $1 billion, perhaps the "Show Me State" ought to change its name to the "Show Me The Money State". So where does all that money come from? There are many dozens of different sources for unclaimed funds, a few of the most common are safe deposit boxes, certificates of deposit, abandoned bank accounts, life insurance policies, forgotten stocks, and checks that have not been cashed.
Despite the fact that there is not a time limit on claiming missing money, Missouri only guarantees that they'll hang on to items from safe deposit boxes for 1 year (though they do sometimes hold them for longer). According to the Missouri State Treasurer's web site, this is how they deal with these items: "Although State Treasurer Steelman would like to keep the contents of safe deposit boxes until an owner or heir is identified, the unclaimed property vault used to store non-monetary items of value (jewelry, coins, etc.) reaches capacity every couple of years. When the vault is full, the Unclaimed Property Division hosts an auction, and the proceeds generated from the sale of items from safe deposit boxes is recorded in the name of the safe deposit box owner. If owners or heirs are identified, they receive the entire proceeds from the sale of the items."

According to MO State Treasurer Sarah Steelman, Missouri unclaimed money has swelled to the giant sum of $400 million. This heap of cash will almost certainly grow, because like in most other states, Missouri takes in more unclaimed money every year than is returned to Missourians. Among the number of reasons why these funds continue to go unclaimed, is the fact that most residents aren't aware of unclaimed money, and the few that are aware don't know the correct way to search.
As we see Missouri unclaimed money rolls nearing a half of a billion dollars, the "Show Me State" ought to change its name to the "Show Me The Money State". So where does all that cash come from? There are quite a number of different sources for unclaimed money, a few of the most common are abandoned bank accounts, safe deposit boxes, checks that have not been cashed, certificates of deposit, forgotten stocks, and life insurance policies.
Even though there isn't a time limit on claiming forgotten funds, Missouri will only guarantee that they will hold on to items from safe deposit boxes for one year (but they do occassionally hold on to them for longer).

It's lucky for the rest of us, most of this cash does not come from safe depost box item auctions.
Whether you are a former or current Missouri resident, or even in some cases, have not ever resided in Missouri at all, the odds that lost money is owed to you, are in your favor. Of course the great thing about cash from unclaimed money is the fact that the cash already rightfully belongs to people. There are no game playing or gambling involved.

This pile of cash is likely to get larger, because as with most states, Missouri takes in more unclaimed money annually than they return to residents.
