NAUPA has not responded.
Senator Elizabeth Warren sent a letter to the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators demanding answers about the unclaimed property system and its failure to return money to rightful owners.
CBS News is conducting an active investigation into California's unclaimed property system. California's official unclaimed property website is powered by Kelmar Associates — the same private company that conducts collection audits for states on a contingency fee basis.
The unclaimed property system is facing scrutiny it has never faced before. Upon.fyi has been building the empirical foundation for that scrutiny for months.
Your money is still there. Now is the time to act.
