State Unclaimed Property in Idaho

The Idaho State Treasurer's Office holds unclaimed property — dormant bank accounts, uncashed checks, unclaimed wages, safe deposit box contents, insurance payouts, stocks and bonds — until the owner or their heirs claim it. Searching and claiming are free, and the state safeguards the money forever until it is claimed.
