OK… This is NOT a scam. Every state has unclaimed property awaiting claim by owners or their rightful descendants. What is unclaimed property? Examples include forgotten utility deposits, life insurance payouts, health insurance reimbursements for overpayments, and contents of safe deposit boxes.
When my parents died I checked with the appropriate authorities in New York state. After filling out a couple forms, I received a few hundred dollars (related to health insurance claims that were overpaid).
For Utah, visit; mycash.utah.gov or call 801-715-3300.
