Murray Unclaimed Money Lookup
Murray is home to Intermountain Medical Center and a dense corridor of healthcare businesses, clinics, and support services. That concentration of employers means Murray residents often have unclaimed money in the form of forgotten wages, patient refunds, insurance proceeds, and dormant accounts. The Utah State Treasurer holds all of it until the rightful owner steps forward. Searching the state database at mycash.utah.gov is free, takes only a few minutes, and has no time limit. If money is in the system under your name, it belongs to you.
Murray Quick Facts
How to Search Murray Unclaimed Money
The Utah State Treasurer's Unclaimed Property Division handles all unclaimed money in Utah, including every dollar reported by Murray businesses, hospitals, and banks. Their portal at mycash.utah.gov is free and open to the public. No registration is required. Enter your last name, look through any results, and click a match to begin a claim. The process is online, and most people can complete a search and start a claim in under fifteen minutes.
Healthcare workers are a major part of Murray's workforce. Nurses, doctors, administrators, therapists, and support staff rotate through hospitals and clinics regularly. Each job change is a chance for an uncashed final paycheck or a benefits refund to fall through the cracks. If a former employer mailed a check to an old address, it may have been returned and eventually reported to the state. The same goes for health savings account balances and medical expense refunds. A quick search under your name is always worth the time.

Beyond personal names, try searching any businesses you've owned or run in Murray. Commercial property such as uncashed vendor payments and dormant business accounts gets reported the same way personal accounts do. The search tool covers both. Type the business name exactly as it appeared on legal documents and check for any matches.
Types of Unclaimed Property Murray Residents Find
Murray's healthcare corridor creates a specific pattern of unclaimed money that residents should know about. Hospitals and clinics receive patient overpayments and insurance reimbursements, and sometimes those refund checks don't reach the patient. Insurance companies also generate unclaimed proceeds when a policyholder or beneficiary can't be located. These healthcare-related funds show up in the state system regularly and are often overlooked because people don't think to check for medical refunds.
Beyond healthcare, Murray residents encounter the same types of unclaimed money as other Salt Lake County communities. Dormant bank accounts are the most common category. Most checking and savings accounts go dormant after three years of no activity and no contact between the owner and the bank. After that threshold, the bank is required to report the balance to the state. If you've switched banks over the years and didn't close every account, there may be a balance sitting in the system.
Unclaimed wages are another frequent find, particularly for workers in industries with high turnover. Restaurants, retail shops, and medical support businesses all employ large numbers of workers who change jobs regularly. A final paycheck that didn't clear, or a bonus that was issued after the employee left, can end up in the state system after just one year of no contact. Murray has a mix of all of these employer types.
Common types of unclaimed property for Murray residents:
- Patient refunds and insurance overpayment reimbursements
- Dormant bank accounts from local or former-state banks
- Uncashed payroll or contract checks
- Life insurance proceeds and policy refunds
- Security deposits from prior rental units
- Utility refunds from past service addresses
- Mutual fund shares and stock dividends
Murray City Hall and Salt Lake County Resources
Murray City Hall is at 5025 S State Street, Murray, UT 84107. The city runs local services, permits, and community programs. For unclaimed financial property, you work with the state rather than city hall, but local offices can help with verifying past employment or utility service history. The Murray City official website has contact information for city departments and local resources.

Murray City's website provides contact information for local services, but the unclaimed money search is handled at the state level through mycash.utah.gov.
Murray is part of Salt Lake County. All unclaimed property reported by Murray employers and businesses goes to the state through the same reporting system used across the county. For more on county-level resources, visit the Salt Lake County unclaimed money page. Salt Lake County is the most populous county in Utah and generates more unclaimed property reports than any other county in the state. Murray contributes a meaningful share of those reports each year.
MissingMoney.com as a National Search Tool
After checking mycash.utah.gov, Murray residents should also run a search at MissingMoney.com. This national database is endorsed by NAUPA, the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators, and covers records from more than 39 states. If you or a family member worked or lived in another state before moving to Murray, there may be unclaimed property in that state's system that won't appear in Utah's portal. Healthcare professionals who moved from other states are especially likely to have prior-state accounts.

MissingMoney.com searches multiple states at once and is completely free to use.
NAUPA's Utah page at unclaimed.org/reporting/utah/ provides background on Utah's program and links to resources for other states. If you lived in Idaho, Nevada, Arizona, or California before moving to Murray, it's worth running a search in those states too. Each state runs its own unclaimed property program, and a move doesn't automatically transfer your funds from another state's system to Utah's. You have to claim them separately, wherever they sit.
Filing a Claim for Murray Unclaimed Funds
Finding your name in the mycash.utah.gov database is the first step. Claiming is the second. Click "File a Claim" next to any matching listing. The form asks for your contact information and identity documents. For most Murray residents, a valid government-issued photo ID is enough. A Utah driver's license, a passport, or a state ID all work. You'll also need your Social Security number for the state to verify your identity against the property record. Most simple claims are processed within a few weeks of submission.
Healthcare workers who find unclaimed property tied to a former employer may need to provide additional documentation if the amount is large or if the property is listed under an employer's reporting name rather than directly under their personal name. Old pay stubs, W-2 forms, or a letter from a former HR department can help confirm the connection. Don't overthink it. The state wants to return the money. They'll tell you exactly what's needed on the claim form.
For claims tied to a deceased family member, you'll need a death certificate and proof of your right to collect. That might mean a will, letters testamentary, or an affidavit of heirship. The claim form on the site walks you through the specific documents based on your relationship to the deceased and the size of the property. Everything can be submitted by mail or online. The Utah State Treasurer's office is at (801) 715-3300. Their address is P.O. Box 140530, Salt Lake City, UT 84114-0530. No fee. No middleman. Full amount paid to you.
No Deadline to Claim Utah Unclaimed Money
Utah does not set a time limit on claiming unclaimed property. Utah Code 67-4a-501 states that owners can file a claim at any time, regardless of how long ago the property was reported. This is one of the most owner-friendly provisions in Utah's unclaimed property law. A bank account that went dormant in 2006 and was reported to the state in 2009 is just as claimable today as something that was just reported last November.
This matters for Murray residents who have deep financial histories in the area. Long-term residents may have accounts from employers that have since closed or merged. A hospital that was renamed or acquired may have reported payroll from the old entity under a name you don't immediately recognize in the search results. The state keeps all of it. Looking through partial name matches and reviewing the reporter company names listed in each result can help you find older entries that might otherwise be overlooked.
The full statute is at Title 67, Chapter 4a of the Utah Code, available at law.justia.com/codes/utah/title-67/chapter-4a/. In 2022, Utah held a record $77.2 million in unclaimed funds. That year, $30.6 million was returned to owners. Since 1984, more than $131 million has been paid back to Utah residents. The state estimates one in five Utahns has an unclaimed property claim. Searching once a year costs nothing and takes only minutes. For Murray residents with long work histories in healthcare, the odds of finding something are real.
