What Counts as Unclaimed Money
Indiana's unclaimed property law covers a wide range of financial assets. Under IC 32-34-1-1, unclaimed property is any financial asset where the owner has not had contact with the holder for the required dormancy period. For Warrick County residents, this often means old checking or savings accounts, certificates of deposit, or credit union balances from local financial institutions.
Other common types include wages and commissions that were never collected, insurance policy proceeds, stock dividends, credit balances on store or utility accounts, money orders, tax refunds, utility deposits, and safe deposit box contents. About 75% of all state accounts hold under $100, but larger amounts do show up. The record single payout in Indiana was $750,000. All businesses holding unclaimed assets must report them to the state annually under IC 32-34-1-26.

The process is entirely free. Do not pay a finder's service or attorney to claim property you can recover yourself at no cost. The state does not deduct a fee, and you keep everything.
