Find your
unclaimed money.
Know what comes next.

Uncover helps you search California’s unclaimed-property records, make sense of possible matches, and organize what comes next. You can compare names, addresses, reporting companies, and property details, then use our guides to understand the evidence a claim may need. We’re building a more organized path from finding a record to preparing a business claim, starting with California.

An old account balance, an uncashed check, a refund, or an insurance payment can become unclaimed property when a company loses contact with its owner. Companies report and transfer these assets to the state under California’s unclaimed-property rules. In this context, “property” usually means financial assets, not houses or land.

No. Uncover is an independent project operated by Adam Rosenblum in San Francisco, California. Our records come from the California State Controller’s Office, but we are not the state, and we do not decide who owns a property or approve payments. You can search and claim directly through California’s official claim service.

Both business and personal searches are welcome. Our recovery work focuses on California businesses because a record may sit under a former company name, an old office address, or a related entity. Connecting those details—and establishing who can act for the business—takes organization. Try your current and former names, and compare each result with the history you know.

Searching and browsing records on Uncover are free, with no account required. California also processes claims free of charge, so you can handle a claim yourself. Any paid recovery assistance would require a separate written agreement explaining the scope and fee before you engage us. Searching, saving a match, or reading a checklist does not engage a paid recovery service. Read our terms.

An account lets you save possible matches and create a reusable business profile with company names, past addresses, and representative details. You can return to that information instead of starting over each time. Account updates appear inside Uncover; they are not email or text alerts. Saving a record keeps it organized for review—it does not reserve the property or start a state claim.

A name match is a lead, not proof of ownership. Compare the reported address, the company that reported the property, and the type of asset with your own records. For a business, consider former names and addresses as well. California decides whether the evidence establishes ownership through its claim process; Uncover cannot guarantee that a match belongs to you.

Uncover searches a published snapshot of California State Controller downloadable records. It is not a live connection to the state’s claim-status system. Records may be incomplete or may have changed since the snapshot, and a listing does not guarantee that funds are still available. Confirm a promising match with the state before claiming. Read about our source and its limitations.

Start by confirming the record through California’s official claim service and following the state’s instructions for your claim. Uncover’s document guide can help you understand what to gather. Our business recovery workflow is still being developed; using the site, saving a match, or preparing a checklist does not submit a claim. Any assisted submission requires a separate engagement and human approval. For questions about business assistance, contact support@uncoverfinance.com.

No. A listed amount is not a confirmed payout, and Uncover cannot promise recovery or a payment date. California must review the claim and determine whether the evidence establishes ownership. Saving a match or completing a checklist does not mean a claim has been approved. If you have already filed, use California’s official claim service to follow up on its status.

Start with a name or business name in search. Do not put Social Security numbers, tax IDs, banking credentials, or identity documents into public search or checklist fields, or send them to our support mailbox. If evidence is needed for a business case, supply it only through the designated private case workflow when requested. Our privacy notice explains how search, account, and case information is handled.

Try a former name, a different spelling, or fewer location filters. For a business, check previous legal names and old addresses. You can also browse with more filters and check the state’s current records. No result in our California snapshot does not rule out property in newer records or another state.
