Meta Muse finds unclaimed money and files the claim
The poster asked Meta's Muse to search his state's official unclaimed property database for money owed to him. Unclaimed property is money a business or agency owed you but couldn't deliver, like an old refund, deposit or final paycheck, which gets handed to the state to hold. Muse found a hit, filed the claim, and he says the check arrived in the mail. In the replies he shared the prompt he used: search with your full legal name and every past address, list each hit with the amount and who owes it, and walk through filing step by step. Another person replied that they had done the same a couple of weeks earlier.
Poster's claim, not verified: He says Muse found $43.88 and he received a check. Another reply says they got $95. We have not verified either.
Copy this prompt
Search my state's official unclaimed property website for money owed to me. Use my full legal name [NAME], any past names, and these past addresses [LIST]. Only use the official state site or the government-run search it links to, never a paid finder service. For each hit, tell me the amount, who it's from and what proof the claim needs, then walk me through filing it step by step. Ask me before you submit anything.
Our own prompt, written from what the source describes. We haven't run it ourselves. Text in [BRACKETS] is what you replace.
Watch out for
- Claiming through the state's official site is free. Ignore letters or sites that charge a fee to find or claim your money.
- If you have lived in more than one state, search each state's site.
