Complete Guide to Searching and Claiming in RI [2026]
Rhode Island holds millions of dollars in unclaimed property waiting to be returned to rightful owners. Find RI Money reports that over 300,000 Ocean State residents have unclaimed property waiting, representing a significant percentage of the population. The Rhode Island State Treasury is responsible for safeguarding and returning these assets to their owners.
Rhode Island uses the KAPS (Kelmar) for its unclaimed property database. Property typically becomes dormant after 5 years of no owner activity, at which point holders must report it to the state by November 1 each year.
This is the official state website operated by the Rhode Island State Treasury. Use this site to:
Visit findrimoney.com and search using your name or business name.
Check the property details (address, holder name) to confirm it belongs to you.
Complete the online claim form or download the paper form if preferred. Online claims typically process faster.
Provide proof of identity and ownership as requested by the state.
Rhode Island claims typically take 90-120 days to process.
Once approved, receive your funds via check or direct deposit (if available).
