Logan Quick Facts
How to Search Logan Unclaimed Money
The Utah State Treasurer runs the unclaimed property program for all of Utah, including Logan and the rest of Cache County. Their search portal at mycash.utah.gov is open to anyone. You don't need to create an account or pay anything. Type your last name, look through the results, and click any match to start a claim. The whole search takes just a few minutes.
Logan is home to Utah State University, and that university community creates a steady flow of unclaimed money over time. Students open accounts at local banks and credit unions while enrolled. Some graduate, move away, and forget that those accounts exist. Former employees of USU may have uncashed paychecks or retirement contributions sitting in the system. Staff who transferred to other institutions might have left small balances behind. Anyone with a Logan connection and a history of financial accounts here is worth checking in the database.

The MyCash portal is the fastest way to find unclaimed money in Logan without making any calls or visiting any offices.
Search using every name you've used. That means maiden names, middle names used as first names, and common misspellings if your name has an unusual spelling. Also try any businesses you've owned or operated in Logan. The state accepts claims for business property as well as personal accounts. A search by company name can turn up old vendor payments or uncashed checks that a former business received.
Types of Unclaimed Property Logan Residents Encounter
Logan's mix of university staff, longtime Cache County residents, and students who come and go creates a wide range of unclaimed property types. The most common are dormant bank accounts, which become reportable after three years of no activity and no contact. Many former USU students open accounts at local branches during their years in Logan, then leave the area and never close those accounts properly. The balances may be small, but they add up, and they're still yours to claim.
Wages are another frequent category. Utah law requires employers to report unclaimed wages after just one year of non-contact. If you left a Logan employer without collecting a final check, or if a payroll department had the wrong mailing address, that check may be in the state system. Utility companies in Logan and Cache County also report security deposits after a year. If you rented here and never got your deposit back, the state might be holding it.
Insurance policies generate unclaimed proceeds when the policyholder passes away and beneficiaries don't come forward. This is common in families where financial records weren't well organized. It also applies to refunds when a policy was canceled. Logan residents who had life, auto, or homeowner's policies with companies no longer in business may find proceeds from those old policies listed under their names or a deceased family member's name.
Common types of unclaimed property in Logan:
- Dormant checking and savings accounts from local banks and credit unions
- Uncashed payroll checks from Logan employers or USU
- Security deposits from Cache County rental units
- Insurance proceeds and policy refunds
- Utility refunds from Rocky Mountain Power or Cache Valley Electric
- Stocks, mutual fund shares, and dividends
Logan City Hall and Cache County Resources
Logan City Hall is at 290 N 100 W, Logan, UT 84321. The city manages local services, permits, and public programs. For unclaimed financial property, you deal with the state rather than city hall, but local offices can sometimes help you track down old account records or verify past employment. The Logan City official website is a good starting point for local government contact information.

MissingMoney.com as a Second Search Option
Once you've searched mycash.utah.gov, take a few extra minutes and run your name through MissingMoney.com.

Logan residents who studied or worked in other states before settling in Cache County may have unclaimed property in those states' systems.

MissingMoney.com is free and does not charge to search or start a claim through the national database.
The NAUPA Utah page at unclaimed.org/reporting/utah/ gives an overview of how Utah manages unclaimed property reporting and return. It also links to other state programs. If you lived in Idaho, Nevada, or Wyoming before coming to Logan, check those states' portals too. Each state runs its own program, and a move doesn't transfer your property from one system to another. You have to claim it in each state where it's held.
How to Claim Logan Unclaimed Funds
Claiming unclaimed money in Logan works the same as anywhere else in Utah. Go to mycash.utah.gov, find your name in the results, and click "File a Claim." The claim form walks you through providing your contact information and verifying your identity. For most straightforward claims, a government-issued photo ID and your Social Security number are enough to get started. Smaller claims often move through the process quickly.
If you're claiming on behalf of someone who has passed away, you'll need documents proving your right to collect. Typically that means a death certificate and either a will, letters testamentary, or an affidavit of heirship, depending on the size of the property and your relationship to the deceased. The state's claim form will spell out exactly what documents are needed for your specific situation. Don't guess. Read the instructions on the form carefully before you send anything.
You can reach the Utah State Treasurer's office by phone at (801) 715-3300. Mail goes to P.O. Box 140530, Salt Lake City, UT 84114-0530. The physical office is at 168 N 1950 W Suite 102, Salt Lake City, UT 84116. Logan residents can handle the entire claim by mail or online. In-person visits are possible for complex cases, though Salt Lake City is about an hour and a half from Logan. Most claims don't require a personal visit. No fee is charged to file, and no third party is needed. The full amount is yours.
No Time Limit to Claim Utah Unclaimed Property
Utah has no deadline for claiming unclaimed property. Utah Code 67-4a-501 says the state holds property indefinitely for the rightful owner. An account that went dormant when you were a student at USU fifteen years ago is still recoverable today. There is no expiration. The state does not keep the money permanently. It waits.
This is different from some other states, which may eventually absorb the funds if too much time passes. In Utah, the law protects your right to claim regardless of how old the property is. That means Logan residents should check the database not just for recent accounts, but for anything going back decades. Old savings accounts, forgotten stock certificates, and uncashed refund checks from businesses long since closed can all still be claimed if they were reported to the state.
The full law governing unclaimed property in Utah is at Title 67, Chapter 4a. You can read it at law.justia.com/codes/utah/title-67/chapter-4a/. The state held $77.2 million in unclaimed funds as of 2022. About $30.6 million was returned to owners that fiscal year. Since 1984, more than $131 million has gone back to Utah residents and businesses. Logan has a share of those numbers. One in five Utahns is estimated to have a claim. Check once a year and look for every name and address you've ever used.
