This seems to come up at least once a year and it can't hurt to take a look to see if you are owed some unclaimed money.

According to ABC, billions of dollars are up for grabs in unclaimed funds across New York and you could be entitled to some of it.

In New York there is about $14 billion in unclaimed money and all you have to do is claim it. And you can get it fast and free.

New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli told ABC,

"We are giving back about a million dollars a day."

To see if you are owed any money all you need to do is go to New York state's unclaimed funds website, type in your last name, first name and hit search.

I did try it for myself and no unclaimed money for me, but there may be some for you.

Good luck!
