Find your lost money

About 30 billion dollars is just sitting in state and federal accounts, waiting to be claimed. The television show Good Morning America recently checked people on the street and found that about 1 in 4 people had money held in accounts yet didn't even know about it. I've rounded up the links so you can check to see if you have unclaimed money too. I didn't, but I think I found some money for my cousin in Oklahoma!
