Veterans
Nearly two million poor veterans or their impoverished widows are likely missing out on as much as $22 billion a year in pensions from the U.S. government, but the Department of Veterans Affairs has had only limited success in finding them.

Unclaimed Benefits
In 2004, trustees unable to confirm beneficiaries or policy owners of demutualized companies took custody of $22.8 billion in unclaimed benefits; less than $1 billion was claimed.
Stock Dividends
The SEC estimates 3 million stockholders are entitled to unclaimed stock worth $10 billion. In addition, $500 million in stock dividends go un-cashed each year.
Missing Money
Government agencies are holding $60 billion in unclaimed property and missing money. If an owner or heir fails to communicate an interest in an asset over a specified number of years, referred to as a dormancy period, agencies, companies, etc. holding unclaimed assets must remit the funds to the protective custody of a government trust account.
U.S. Savings Bonds
Less than 1% of U.S. Savings Bond holders are successfully notified when the bonds reach maturity. $200 million in registered United States Treasury Securities have stopped earning interest but have not been cashed.
Life Insurance
One-quarter of all life insurance benefits go unclaimed – due to family members being unaware that a policy exists or because of dormancy periods, etc.
