(Part 2 of 2)

Most of the time, people stand in their own way of locating their unclaimed money by doing things like looking on the wrong websites and searching just one time. Not all unclaimed money websites are the same. Many don't have any real lost money records, and even the few that do often have mostly old data. Even actual state records are often not accurate because they are not updated in real time. Given that monies are turned over constantly, and each type has a unique dormancy period, a listing for a given person's name might not be added to the system until the day, week or month after they search, leaving them with the incorrect conclusion that they aren't owed money.

Although in recent years Rhode Island has increased efforts to hand back forgotten funds to the rightful owners, more money keeps coming in than is returned to the owners, so the total will keep on growing, giving all citizens a better chance of discovering a claim. The state simply does not have the ability to efficiently track down everyone who is owed money so the best thing residents of Rhode Island can do is to learn how to search like pro finders do, and then use those tactics to maximize their searching abilities.
