Uncashed checks are a growing problem, but it’s one not often talked about. When a check is issued to and mailed to a person and that person fails to receive it, you may wonder what happens to that money. If no one cashes the check, the money will be sent to the state’s uncashed checks department inside the treasury. There the checks will sit until someone steps forward to claim them. To find out if you have a right to claim uncashed checks that may be addressed to you, log onto the Cash Unclaimed database and insert your first and last name.
