The State of California is holding $15.5 billion in unclaimed property — old paychecks, forgotten bank balances, refunds, dividends. We help Californians find what's theirs and walk them through getting it back, without the paperwork headache.
The state of California holds this property for as long as it takes to find the rightful owner. The search is free. The claim is free. But the process — knowing what to search, gathering the right documents, navigating the agreement, waiting through review — is where most people give up.
CatchMyCash exists for the people who don't have time to figure that out. We do the search, prepare the claim package, and shepherd it through California's review process until the check is in your hand. You only pay if we recover money for you.
We're not the state. We're not a government agency.We're a service that knows how the system works and gets paid only when it works for you.
You pay nothing upfront. If we don't recover money for you, you owe nothing. Our fee is a percentage of what you receive — disclosed before you sign.
All documents are transmitted over TLS, stored encrypted, and accessible only to the staff handling your claim. We never sell or share your data with third parties.
Every claim we file follows the California State Controller's Office requirements. We're transparent about what we are: a private service that helps you claim what's already yours.
Plain commitments, with links to the state’s own pages wherever you can check them yourself.
California law limits what a recovery service may charge to 10% of the property returned to you (Code of Civil Procedure section 1582). Our fee is 10%, written into your agreement, and charged only when you are paid. Read the State Controller’s guidance.
You can always search and claim directly from the state for free, and we say so before you sign anything. The state’s own search uses the same records ours does.
Each case gets a Case ID the moment it opens. You can check every stage — documents, agreements, submission, approval — on the Track Your Claim page, without calling anyone.
