How unclaimed property works in Connecticut

Connecticut holds unclaimed property when companies, banks, insurers, courts, or other holders cannot locate the rightful owner after the required dormancy period.

The Connecticut Office of the State Treasurer maintains the official ClaimIT CT search at claimitct.gov so residents and former residents can look up names, aliases, and prior addresses at no charge.
