Year 2024

You may have funds waiting for you. Unclaimed funds.

As part of efforts to return these unclaimed funds to local folks, The Chronicles Of Grant County will be producing several news columns on the subject during 2024. Many individuals, businesses, organizations, and other entities may not realize that they have unclaimed funds owed to them that are in Santa Fe (and elsewhere) at this time.

These are unclaimed funds that the State of New Mexico wants to return to the rightful owners.

The listings of unclaimed funds are based on information from entities that owed you money, but where you did not actually receive those funds. Due to legal requirements, if you never received those funds, the entities have to send those monies to Santa Fe.

You then have to request that the unclaimed funds be given to you.

But how do you know that you have monies waiting for you?

There are a variety of ways to search for potential unclaimed funds owed to you, but one of the most basic ways is to go to the website maintained by the Unclaimed Property Division of the New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department. For that website, please click here.

For searches based on your own name, put your surname in the space provided on that database search webpage. You may also want to put your first name as well as the name of your city in the spaces provided. If you've lived in different communities in New Mexico, do separate searches for each individual city.

For searches focused on the name of your business or organization, place your entity's name in the space provided on that webpage. You may also want to put the name of your city in the space provided. If your business or organization has or previously had locations in different communities in New Mexico, do separate searches for each individual city.

If unclaimed funds are owed to someone with your name or an entity with the name of your business or organization, you'll need to verify that that "someone" is actually you or that "entity" is actually your business or organization. This is especially the case if you have a common surname or if your business or organization has a common name.

There are, for example, 999 listings of unclaimed funds owed to people with "Martinez" in their names throughout the state, more than 1,000 listings of unclaimed funds owed to people with "Chavez" in their names, and more than 1,000 listings of unclaimed funds owed to people with "Garcia" in their names throughout New Mexico.

In Silver City, there are 116 listings of unclaimed funds owed to people with Martinez in their names, 138 listings of unclaimed funds owed to people with Chavez in their names, and 133 listings of unclaimed funds owed to people with Garcia in their names.

And that's just the stats for individuals with those three names in one community.

If you determine that one or more of the listings of unclaimed funds is due to you, you will need to file a claim for the monies. Please follow the instructions detailed by the New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department. You will need to provide documentation that you are the person who is the rightful owner of the unclaimed funds or your business or organization is the actual owner of the unclaimed funds.

Please note that you do not need to pay anyone or any entity to secure your unclaimed funds.

Additional information about unclaimed funds potentially due to others in the local communities in Grant County and southwest New Mexico will be detailed in future editions of The Chronicles Of Grant County.
