The results: A sustainable cycle of unclaimed property returns

By the Numbers: Returning Unclaimed Property
As the foremost authority in unclaimed property, NAUPA helps provide the necessary leadership, consumer protection, and support—facilitating collaboration among government administrators—to promote the success of this beneficial program returning billions in unclaimed property to its owners each year.
Oversight and policies that support the public good
NAUPA develops and adopts policy and engages in the legislative process as needed to represent unclaimed property programs in every state, protect the unclaimed property rights of citizens, and to support the overall public good.
In many states, without impacting the obligation of the state to return unclaimed funds, collections of unclaimed property are utilized to fund public schools and college scholarships.
