Omaha steaks are likely the most well known item to come out of Nebraska in recent memory, but there's something even more juicy that NE residents will find is more beneficial to them personally. As recently as 2007, Nebraska unclaimed money had reached over 85 million dollars, and counting. Despite the fact that the State Treasurer's Office has a handful of "outreach" events to reconnect people with their abandoned cash, lack of education on the issue means that more cash is turned over to the state than is given back to the rightful owners.

Residing in a state with only roughly 1.7 million people, NE residents have terrific odds of discovering that they are due a share of the total unclaimed property currently held by the State Treasurer. The primary thing getting between the citizens and their assets is a search and claim, but before this can be done properly, the people have to know how to search otherwise they might waste a bunch of time on the wrong sites using the wrong search methods.

The most important thing for Nebraska residents to remember, when looking for unclaimed funds, is that it isn't a job that can be completed with a single search. This rule is true not only because many web sites aren't offering reliable data, but mainly because the state's data is updated all of the time so searching on a given day without finding any money does not mean that searching on a different day won't turn up a heap of money.
