How long an unclaimed property claim takes, state by state

States describe processing time in different ways: some set a legal deadline to decide a claim, some publish an average, and some publish nothing. Where a state gives a time, the table quotes it.

On this page
  1. Processing times, state by state
  2. Sources

The state administrators' association notes that some states complete a claim in less than 30 days60. Claims for a deceased owner, a business or securities usually take longer, and missing documents are the most common cause of delay. To check on a claim, use the status tool or the claims phone line on the state's page.

"First period stated" is the first time period in the state's wording, given only so the column can be sorted; read the full text, because it may be a legal maximum, an average or a minimum. A dash means no period is given in the sources we could check.
