Indiana Unclaimed Property Division on pace to break all-time annual record, returning over $77 million to Hoosiers already this year

Hoosiers deserve their hard-earned money back in their pockets

                                   

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita announced that with just 12 weeks remaining in 2025, Indiana’s Unclaimed Property Division, led by Amy Hendrix, is on track to surpass its all-time annual record for returning unclaimed funds to rightful owners. The division has already returned over $77 million in 2025, surpassing last year’s amount of $72 million, the second highest year, and is projected to easily exceed the 2023 record of $81 million by years end. Hoosiers across the state are reclaiming assets long held by the state. 

Despite this success, Attorney General Rokita emphasized that many individuals remain unaware of funds waiting for them, driving the division’s mission. 

"Our team is relentlessly driven to reconnect every dollar with its owner to provide a financial boost for hardworking families, businesses, and communities," said Attorney General Rokita. “Returning unclaimed property isn’t just our job—it’s a mission to restore what’s yours.” 

Examples of unclaimed property include:   

  • Unclaimed wages or commissions    

  • Money orders  

  • Safety deposit box contents  

  • Savings and checking accounts  

  • Refunds  

  • Overpayments such as:  

  • Credit card balances  

  • Cell phone bills  

  • BMV payments.  

How to keep your property from going unclaimed: 

  • Keep a record of all bank accounts.  
  • Cash all checks promptly.
  • Change address form with the US Postal Service when moving
  • Open all the mail (in case there is a due diligence letter from the company holding their funds)
  • Record all utility deposits, including telephone, cable, and electricity deposits. 
  • Record all stock certificates and be sure to cash all dividends received.  

New property is added to indianaunclaimed.gov regularly. With nearly a billion dollars waiting to be claimed, Attorney General Rokita encourages everyone to spread the word to friends, family, coworkers, or others.
