Seniors Urged to Check for Unclaimed Money

Older people living in NSW are encouraged to check for any unclaimed money owed to them by using Revenue NSW’s online unclaimed money service.

__Examples of money owed include: __

• Refunds and overpayments from a purchase
• Sale of property, goods, or services
• Deposits and premiums
• Principal and interest
• Share dividends
• Cheques that have not been cashed or deposited
• Trust account funds
• Commissions
• Creditors
• Expenses.

The Unclaimed Money register is a caretaker account within Revenue NSW for money which has not made it to the correct owner for any number of reasons including a change of address or name, misplaced paperwork or it has simply been forgotten.

Revenue NSW periodically carries out data matching activities and attempts to contact potential owners of new items received from enterprises.

Seniors can search for unclaimed money and learn more about the process at https://www.revenue.nsw.gov.au/unclaimed-money
