A guy at work said he had $ in there from a cleaning company he was at in Michigan. I found some for my brother and mother in law. Has anyone actually got anything from them?

I made several claims and received the funds from the Texas Unclaimed Property site for funds that were for my deceased mother.

Gee, you suppose there's anything there for "Ed Brown"???
Banks, insurance companies, etc are required to send dormant funds to the state of Texas after a certain amount of time so the state can use the funds or collect interest on it until it is claimed (if ever). Most other states probably do the same.
Texas does publish lists of unclaimed funds periodically & has an easy-to-navigate web site to search for such funds. The process to file a claim is also very simple & the state pricesses claims fairly quickly. I have no idea how well it works in other states but I give Texas high marks. My wife & I have recovered several "forgotten" funds over the years - nothing huge, but found money is always nice, even when it was already yours in the first place.
One word of caution - file your claims directly with the starte. There are many web sites who are glad to "help" you search for the money & file the forms. While this is legal, the value of their service is not really worth much.

I got about $150 the state of PA owed me from when I lived there a few years back. It took about 2 months for them to process it but I did eventually get it.

There are several "Ed Brown" in Racine that have unclaimed funds.
Unclaimed property laws vary from state to state but I think all states have them. In NY for instance bank accounts have to be turned over after as little as 18 months of activity --- even if you have other accounts at the same bank....

I got money from Tennessee from one of these claim sites. It was from a sale of a house and insurance refund.
