Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why doesn’t the government agency just send us the money we're owed?

   • The government requires a proper claim to return your funds. If you miss the filing deadline, your abandoned cash becomes the property of the government (and you permanently forfeit your right to claim the funds). Also, the government is earning interest on your abandoned cash and its usually not refundable. This often provides them with a significant source of revenue for things like general operating costs.

2. How much of my time will you require to help reclaim my funds?

   • The commitment of our company is nominal, and the results can be quite significant.  We do all the work, so you won’t have to divert valuable time supervising the administrative process.

3. Will you advise us where our abandoned cash is before we retain you?

   • In advance of engagement, we share general information. Once engaged, we do provide exact details (such as holder entity, dollar amount, asset type etc.)

4. If we do not act promptly, will we forever lose our right to claim our abandoned cash?

   • In most cases, the government must receive a claim by its specific filing deadline or you permanently forfeit your right to claim the funds (and the abandoned cash becomes the property of the government). The quicker your money is recovered the sooner you will regain control over how those monies are used.

5. How long will it take to recover our abandoned cash?

   • Some claims pay within a matter of days, while others may take a few months or more.  Our pay for performance model ensures you the fastest recovery of funds possible.
