(INDIANAPOLIS) - Indiana officials say millions of dollars in unclaimed property is still available for residents to claim.

According to state records, unclaimed funds include money tied to individuals across the state, including well-known names such as Reggie Miller, Andrew Luck and Jim Irsay.

Officials say unclaimed property can include uncashed paychecks, refunds, insurance payouts, and dormant bank accounts. Businesses are required to turn those funds over to the state when the rightful owner cannot be located.

The money is held by the Indiana Attorney General's Office, where residents can search an online database and file claims.

State leaders say a record $88 million was returned to Hoosiers in 2025, with more than $47 million already distributed so far this year.

National estimates suggest about one in seven Americans may have unclaimed funds.

Officials encourage residents to regularly check for unclaimed property and file claims to recover money owed to them.
