Have you checked to see if the state owes you any funds?  There are two websites that have been sanctioned to facilitate searching for these funds according to AARP Magazine.  MissingMoney.com allows you to search the unclaimed property records for 40 states at the same time.  Unclaimed.org allows you to search states individually.  Check out both sites and may be you will get a pleasant surprise.  Be careful when searching for these sites.  There are many others with similar names and may charge a fee for their services.  The state governments and their websites do not charge fees.
