Check if You Have Any Unclaimed Monies

[aussiblue]

Just go to https://moneysmart.gov.au/find-unclaimed-money and enter you and relatives, close friends and ancestors names. I do this once a year and always find something albeit (sadly) never for myself.

$28.85...I wouldn't walk past it without picking it up.

Going to put it all on black and let it ride

Your super fund should also have the ability to check to see if you have any outstanding lost super funds and if you do, roll those funds over to your current super fund.
Most super funds should offer this functionality online. Check it out.

An old neighbour did this as his work. Family business actually, searching for lost inheritances, then calling those who should benefit.
“We’ll get the money owed to you, but keep 20%” . Most people said “get eff’d” . I couldn’t help but think what a slimy way of making a living.

Thanks Blue. Nothing owed to me though.

More likely just a complete ban from re-entering the USA again. Isn't it primarily a U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS) rather than FBI issue?

Per https://www.huffpost.com/entry/immig...b0ed1f464c0e3a etc

A consular officer at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate abroad can deny a nonimmigrant visa application where a foreign national failed to maintain his or her nonimmigrant status by, for example, engaging in unauthorized employment or for misrepresentation on the nonimmigrant visa application by failing to disclose violations of previous nonimmigrant status.[10] (5) Ineligibility for adjustment of status: With limited exceptions, an individual who has ever engaged in unauthorized employment before or after filing an application for adjustment of status to lawful permanent resident is barred from adjusting status

Go for the money Tonz, if you want to go back just walk over the southern boarder like the rest, then they'll probably give you more money a phone and somewhere to stay, so all goods....you don't even need a vacation for that trip...

Woo hoo! MLC insurance $98, cant be bothered going through all the crap to claim it, be different if it was something decent, when I retire and I cant afford to live on the pension I will claim it

[aussiblue]

cant be bothered going through all the crap to claim it,

Just go to the local free JP (see https://www.wa.gov.au/service/justic...eace-your-area) and sign a stat dec; it's really not that hard.

when I retire and I cant afford to live on the pension I will claim it

It probably won't be there; it's not kept indefinitely if not claimed.

It states that


"Unclaimed money received by ASIC is transferred to the Commonwealth of Australia Consolidated Revenue Fund. It is available to be claimed at any time by the rightful owner and there is no time limit on claims."

I will just let the Commonwealth use it for a little while longer, it might be enough to get a nice prawn cocktail at one of the $w@nky restaurants on the next tax payer funded trip.

(Yes it Censored the word Sw a nk y)

Until the Government changes the rule/law.... nah they have never done that have they?

[prktkljokr]

Meh, if they want my $98 that much they can have it.

Im sure as people drop off the perch they transfer it into the government Christmas party fund, so they would get a fair chunk each year.

[aussiblue]

It's all relative I guess I have found some companies that have hundreds of thousands in unclaimed monies and they have made no claims despite me contacting them in various ways over a number of years. I think they believe I am some sort o\f scammer although they are all companies that I dealt with intimately when I was working and whose senior staff should remember me. Others though have bee supervised and grateful for the tip off and have difficulty believing that I don't want any reward and the warm feeling I get about making someone's day is enough. There was the guy who was over the moon until he found, that under his divorce settlement, his ex-missus was going to get it all. Nonetheless, he still insists he will buy me a drink if we ever cross path again.

will try for this, seriously who the hell would want to visit USA again.

Me tonz I love it there, have met the most friendly people and seen the worst things all in ten minutes much like were I live.(nz)
Small town USA is alot like small town Australia salt of the earth people. The large citys like most around the world you can find trouble, be aware of your surroundings and you will be fine. Alaska is so far my favorite place there. When they will let me back in there will be no stopping us...

(Substitute vaccination for vacation in my post above, dam spellcheck)

I will grant them more intelligence than they had in 1982. We had been working the motel cleaning circuit, cash in hand, free accomadation & meals and the first guy (met him in Aus) provided a van for 12 months)all jobs were referreees from previous motel

after 3 months 1 motel manager asked us how long we had been there, then asked how we learnt the lauguage in 3 months what a dumb asse. Told him phynetically. He thought we were amazing.

I do hear you tonz, some of there general knowledge is some what lacking on things outside the States, give me a dollar for the times I've been called a Aussie over there, then trying to explain the location of New Zealand. One asked if there was a bridge from NZ to Aussie.
Phonetics is sorly missed in NZs education system, another face palm moment.

[aussiblue]

NZ also seems a bit evasive about disclosing lists of what unclaimed monies their Government has https://www.ird.govt.nz/unclaimed-money

[Tonz]

gov needs it all

Well they have printed a rather large amount, which will be a noose around my grandkids necks.
