Search for money already owed to you

Alaska Unclaimed Property is the listed unclaimed-property search for Alaska. Try current and former names and check the identifying details of a match. Use the official claim instructions to prove ownership; a similar name alone does not establish that the property is yours.

Choose your next step

If you have a pending application, return to the agency where you filed and keep your case reference handy. For a renewal or denial, use the instructions and deadline on your notice. If your circumstances changed, ask each program about its own reporting requirements; one agency update may not update every benefit.
