The holiday season often brings joy, but it can also leave many of us financially stretched.
Here’s some great news for Wisconsin residents: you might have unclaimed property waiting for you through the Wisconsin Department of Revenue (DOR).

Every year, the DOR cross-references state tax records with the unclaimed property database to reunite Wisconsinites with money or assets they may have forgotten.
If the DOR finds a match for property under $2,000, they’ll send you a check automatically.
For larger amounts, a letter will provide clear instructions on how to claim it.
Unclaimed property includes a wide range of assets—forgotten bank accounts, uncashed checks, unused insurance payouts, and more.
Financial institutions and businesses report these assets to the DOR annually, ensuring they’re kept safe until the rightful owners step forward.
The process is straightforward and free.
You can visit the DOR’s “Check Your Claim Status” page to quickly verify if you have money waiting.
Be cautious of scams—anyone asking for fees to help recover your property is not affiliated with the state.
Why not take a few minutes today to check? It’s quick, secure, and could bring a welcome financial boost.
