Among the tens of billions of dollars in unclaimed money in the U.S., the state of OH is one of the few states that house over one billion of it. According to the OH Department of Commerce's Division of Unclaimed Funds, that $1 Billion is spread over 3.5 million different accounts. Even though thousands of these unclaimed accounts are given back to their rightful owners each year, totaling in the tens of millions of dollars, the state takes in another 200,000 accounts each year, worth millions more.
As with most states, OH has trouble handing back unclaimed money to its residents for a number of reasons, not the least of which is disbelief. To put it quite simply, most people simply are unaware of missing money and those that have heard of it, generally think it is some type of scam, unless they hear it straight from the source. But even those people that have recognized the reality of these massive amounts of missing funds generally don't know the first thing about finding these funds.
The Division of Unclaimed Funds in OH holds the following as its mission statement: "To improve the quality of service to our customers by collecting unclaimed property equitably, managing the property wisely and effectively, and returning it timely to the rightful owners." The Division also provides the following list of some of the most common types of unclaimed money in OH – unreturned rent and utility deposits, unpaid insurance policies, dormant savings and checking accounts, credit memos, forgotten layaway deposits, underlying shares of stock, unclaimed wages or commissions, securities, undelivered and uncashed stock dividends, credit balances, uncashed checks, intangible contents of safe deposit boxes.

If someone living in the state of OH is to be thorough in their search for missing money, there are a number of things they can do to help themselves in their efforts. What it all boils down to is being educated. Finding where to search and when to search is key to successful searches. Did you realize that not all unclaimed money sites are the same? Did you realize that the listings are updated sporadically?
If citizens living in the Buckeye State wish to take back their piece of the billion dollar unclaimed money pie, the name of the game is to search often. If a resident does a search Monday and finds nothing, there's a likelyhood that they'll call it quits that moment. But what if a record for missing money in their name isn't added until Tuesday? Or maybe the following month? Or year? Each kind of unclaimed money has its own unique period of time which must go by before it is considered "unclaimed" and passed along to the state. The majority of these dormancy periods are between 1 to 5 years, but a few are longer, so it stands to reason that searching for lost cash isn't a one shot deal.
Further explanations on the tips mentioned, and dozens of others can be had if a citizen looks for help from an unclaimed money pro in their quest for Ohio unclaimed money, which is highly recommended to make sure that all resources and potential sources of cash have been exhausted.
