Please don't shoot me...Public Service here

I am breaking rule 6 for posting this but...

Since many of us are or will be financially affected by the stupidity of our government, I'm hoping the mods will
allow this post to remain up as a 'public service' announcement to all. I suggest you make a copy of this post...
just in case.

No, it's not 'coin' or 'coin collecting' related, but it is money related. So I'll take the heat if even one person
PMs me that they benefitted from the info.

Some time ago, I posted a link for people (no matter who you are, where you live, what you do or did for a living)
to find unclaimed property they may be entitled to. I believe it was unclaimedassets.com. I used it to get a $500
paycheck from a past employer from over 10 years ago. Well, I've got a list of other sites that do the same thing
but for various other benefits available. These are sites not links (except #4) so they will require the http://www
preface, and most will work for deceased relatives as well.

ALL ARE FREE!

1) missingmoney.com
-safe deposit boxes, stocks/bonds, CDs, escrow accts, trust funds
2)unclaimed.org/what/
3)pbgc.gov/search
-unclaimed pension benefits
4)https://insurance.va.gov
-unclaimed insurance funds
5)raytyemedicalaidfoundation.org/contact-us/medical-aid-request/
-private foundation for help with medical bills
6)hud.gov/offices/hsg/comp/refunds/
-if you've ever had a FHA insured mortgage, you may be due a refund
7)fdncenter.org
-96,000 funding sources/1.5+ million grant sources
8)govbenefits.gov
-1000's of grant/benefit programs
9)grants.gov
-federal agencies offering grants
10)unclaimedassets.com
-property in whatever form you are due

I hope everyone finds something of use with one or more of these sites!

And one last thing. This
is a link for those of you that may be interested in and can take advantage of the info contained. Just listen to the
video and a info page will automatically follow. I have no affiliation what-so-ever with it...just thought others may benefit.

    I saw one of these lists a few years back, and ended up finding a long lost bank account in Illinois and eventually getting a check for about $4,000.

    Sort of like finding an unexpected $20 bill in your pants pocket in 200 different pairs of pants.

    Ditto. State of Illinois had commission for a disability policy I'd sold years before via the insurance co. I worked for. To keep this coin related, here's what I did with that money...

    Like I said. If even one individual benefits from this info (including our host and
    their employees) then it was worthwhile to blatantly break rule 6.

    Seems to me that more then one have, are, or hopefully, will be getting full use
    of private and government programs listed.

    Unfortunately, it appears that there at least two individuals who sarcastically do not
    believe in helping others through the dissemination of valuable information. I'm extremely
    glad our hosts do not agree and have allowed it to remain up.

    Thank you, PCGS.

    I say POOF this thread due to the last link. Just because you post 10 useful links does not allow you to post that last link which is SPAM and likely a SCAM in some way. And for someone who has no affiliation, why do i see an affiliation code at the tail end of the link???

    Is the last link SPAM or a SCAM? I have no idea.

    "Affiliation Code"? Again, I have no idea what that is.

    All I know is that there are speculators in bullion, stocks, bonds, etc. on this forum and
    they may have a desire, or can afford to speculate there. I simply posted something
    I thought might be of interest to those individuals, and let them make up their own
    mind...just like all the other links.

    I won't shoot.

    Shoot, I posted a similar thread a while back which I can update here by stating my brothers and I received checks from a long forgotten retirement fund of my father's.
    The State of Florida issued those checks eleven years after our Dad passed away and at the risk of having a member chime in "Wrong Forum" I bought bullion with my cut. image

    I'd encourage everyone to check every state you or your loved ones have lived in.




    Thanks again UconnL
