Tonight I was bored and somehow ended up here:

I clicked on Washington, the state I previously lived in, and found out that I was owed $75 from a job I worked in 2002. Sweeeeeeeeet! I printed out the forms and signed them. Before I mail it, I need my former employer to fax me some kind of proof of employment that I can send in, and my check will be on the way.

Woohoo!

Hmm. Phillips Petrolium seems to owe D. C. Massey over $100. I seriously doubt that's me...

Taxation and Revenue apparently owes my dad $17.08 though. Maybe he'll give me a cut.

None for me but I found my Dad on there

None for me. That sucks.

I've used that site in the past, there's one for me. I submitted the paperwork last year and every so often I get a letter in the mail saying that are processing my claim but I have yet to see any money.

i got nothing. not even for people i know

Sweet. I guess when we all go and visit Spyder the first round is on Jesda. :D j/k
I wasn't owed anything but my wife's grandfather is owed some funds from the phone company.

No no no...the first rounds on ME, but when my kegerator goes dry, Jesda gets the honor of refilling my 15.5 gallons of beer...he can even pick what kind he likes!! :)

Unless I'm missing something here, I'm not paying an $18.00 fee for that service. Is there a free way to do this?

yeah....how do you do the search without paying?
