Ya, but from when she was 6 years old...
Her parents couldn't have opened one up for her?

Maybe they bought her a few 25 cent stocks in some long-shot startups like a company called Twitter, Amazon, or Uber?

Or mutual funds. Could’ve been an asset managed by TD Ameritrade or a company that became theirs through one or more mergers/acquisitions

Interestingly, I just got a check in the mail for some settlement involving TD Bank, but my check was for $2 and some change.

Saw this thread when this thread got bumped a few weeks ago, found something in my wife's name, and just received a check for over $2k today!

Thank you @ReadsTheT&C for starting this thread long ago, and @ae123  for bumping it this year!
You're welcome.
Glad to have helped you out!

Thanks.
Claimed it.
We'll see if the $60 ever arrive. :)
A check for $64.77 just arrived.

Anyone know if I have to fill this out? I hadn't gotten to it, and then my check arrived. Should I still submit it?

Now I just gotta figure out what this money is from. It says it's from TD Ameritrade Clearing Inc, and the address on the file was one that my wife's family moved out of when she was 6 years old. Not sure what it could've been at that age...
Her parents couldn't have opened one up for her?

Just asked my father in law about this, and he immediately remembered that he had invested my wife's baby presents in some sort of TD account in her name, and then completely forgot about it. Based on the date that it was forwarded to NYS Unclaimed Funds, it seems like TD held it for ~20 years before giving up on finding her :)

Thanks again to those who posted about this!

Multiple times, I've told someone about this, and their response is, "there's no way I have any money in unclaimed funds."

(Me, typing quickly):....do you live at 123 xyz street?

Them: How did you know?!

Seriously...I try to encourage everyone to check themselves, their family, and a few neighbors and friends. ALmost guaranteed if you do that, you'll get at least one hit.

If you have a business, you can check under that, too.

Found three entries for my now deceased father-in-law. How does my mother-in-law go about claiming it? Does she say she's authorized third party? And then when filling out the information, does she put down the name as herself or my father-in-law?

They have options and instructions in the paperwork for such cases
