Unclaimed Funds Recovery: How It Works

Refund Well audits numerous governmental agencies across the country to identify government funds owed to private individuals and companies. If these unclaimed money amounts remain unclaimed for too long, they are typically lost to the government agency holding them. Unfortunately, the government makes little or no effort to notify citizens of their right to these funds from any kind of abandonment, aside from publishing a list in a newspaper or sending a letter to outdated addresses they have on file. 

The types of funds involved in this refund recovery process are not listed on government publications; rather, they are hidden deep within the catacombs of government records, and 99% of citizens are unaware of their existence.

Once we’ve located the government funds, great efforts are expended to then locate the rightful owner(s). If you've received a phone call or a letter from us, we have located unclaimed money that we believe belongs to you as part of our refund recovery process. Please contact us by phone as soon as possible so we can start your claim at 877-770-WELL (877-770-9355).

Once you have spoken to one of our agents and verbally agreed to let us work your claim for unclaimed money, we will set up a time for you to sign several pages of paperwork to allow us to get started. After receiving our paperwork package, we will send a local notary to collect it from you and overnight it back to our office. We start processing claims for government funds immediately and follow through until the end, ensuring you are kept informed the whole way. 

Our team goes to work with our attorneys, researchers, and notaries to collaborate with the agency holding your unclaimed money. 

Remember, if these funds go unclaimed for too long, they are usually lost to the government agency holding them. Claims for refund recovery are typically processed in 3-4 months, depending on the complexity of the case.

Our firm specializes in refund recovery on a contingent basis – this means that there are no up-front or out-of-pocket expenses for you, EVER. We’re only compensated upon the successful collection of your claim for unclaimed money. We handle ALL the work, cover ALL the expenses, and navigate ALL the administrative hurdles to secure your government funds – and if the claim is unsuccessful, you owe us nothing.
