Search state registries and file unclaimed property claims

A Redditor had Grok Bot search unclaimed property across the US for the poster and their spouse; it found about $1,000 in three states, gathered the paperwork and filed the claims online.

What they did

The poster, u/PilotAlan in r/GrokBot, asked Grok Bot to look through unclaimed funds listings around the country for the poster and their spouse. Once it had matches, the agent worked out what documentation each state wanted. The poster signed the forms and photographed them, handed the images back, and Grok Bot turned everything into PDFs and submitted the claims through the states' online portals.

How it went

It turned up roughly $1,000 spread across three states, including back wages from a Burger King job the poster held in the 1980s. The poster puts their own time at under ten minutes. In the comments, one reader ran the same search and found $400, another said they did it a month earlier and had already been paid, and a third found old penny stocks whose claim was worth 23 cents.

Worth knowing

The poster did not share the prompt and has not said whether the money arrived. Signatures and ID photos stayed with the human, so expect to do that part yourself. Results vary a lot by person; for some the find is a few cents.

Search the official unclaimed property databases for every US state where [my name and any past names] and [family members' names] have lived or worked: [list of states and rough years]. For each match, list the state, holder, amount if shown, and exactly which documents and signatures the claim needs. Prepare the claim forms with what you know and tell me what I must sign or photograph. Do not submit anything until I have reviewed each claim and sent you the signed pages, then file them on the state sites and give me the confirmation numbers.

Square brackets are the parts to fill in. The prompt is ours; the story is theirs.
