Check to see if you have unclaimed $$

I just read this article in sfgate.com in which the State Controller urges SF residents to check whether the state is holding any of their money in the form of unclaimed property.

I had received what looked like a piece of junk mail yesterday from a company who claimed the state owned me $$, and would charge me a $22 fee to go through them. It seemed suspicious, so I chose to ignore it.

Until I read the article today.

So, I clicked on this link, typed in my name, and voila! It turns out that the State of California really does owe me money! (It's from a gig I did with San Francisco State University years ago)

So, check it out. There may be some extra cash waiting around for you!
