Nebraska State Treasurer Joey Spellerberg recently reported that his office has returned more than $13.7 million in unclaimed property so far in 2026—and he’s encouraging all Nebraskans to search NebraskaLostCash. gov to see if they have money waiting to be claimed.
From January 1st through July 15th, Nebraska’s Unclaimed Property Division returned $13,783,664 across 11,408 claims, with an average paid claim of approximately $1,200. During all of 2025, the state returned approximately $19.7 million through nearly 20,000 claims.
“Our office is working hard to return unclaimed assets to rightful owners,” Spellerberg said. “This isn’t the state’s money — we’re simply safeguarding it until the owners or their heirs come forward to claim it. The Unclaimed Property Division aims to make the search and claims process as simple as possible.”
