A viral TikTok video has inspired people to revisit a Washington State Department of Revenue website that helps people find and claim lost funds.
The video, posted by Alex Pearlman, has generated almost 5 million views since it was posted in April.
Pearlman suggests viewers search for “unclaimed property” and the name of their state, they will get the link for their state’s program.
For Washington, it’s ClaimYourCash.org, which was rehauled and streamlined to make it easier to use in 2021.
Unclaimed property can include a number of things, including bank accounts, insurance proceeds, stocks, safe deposit box contents, and more.
To date, Washington has returned over $1.3 billion dollars to their rightful owners.
