Searching for Treasury Securities — Treasury Hunt®
As of September 30, 2025, the Treasury Hunt® tool is no longer available. This change was made under the SECURE Act 2.0, which changes how individuals find and claim unredeemed or matured Treasury securities.
What's Changed?
Previously, Treasury Hunt allowed individuals to search for lost or unclaimed Treasury securities and provided guidance for submitting claims. This included securities purchased directly or those to which individuals or estates were entitled.
Inquiries about unclaimed Treasury securities are now handled through individual states' unclaimed property programs. States can securely access the Treasury's database of unredeemed or matured securities and can help with claims, including those that may have been transferred to the state.
Where to Search Now
To search for unclaimed Treasury securities, visit unclaimed.org β, the official resource run by the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators.
What You'll Need
When contacting your state's unclaimed property office, have the following information available:
- Full legal name (or name of the original purchaser)
- State of residence at the time of purchase or last known address
- Relevant documentation (for example, death certificate, proof of relationship for heirs)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why was the Treasury Hunt tool retired?
The SECURE 2.0 Act of 2022 shifted responsibility for matching people with unredeemed or matured Treasury securities to individual states' unclaimed property programs, so the standalone Treasury Hunt search tool was retired as of September 30, 2025.
Where can I search for unclaimed Treasury securities now?
Visit unclaimed.org, the official resource operated by the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators, and search using your state's unclaimed property program.
What types of securities can I search for through my state?
States can search the Treasury's database for unredeemed or matured savings bonds and other Treasury securities that may be owed to you or an estate you represent.
What information will I need to have the State conduct a search?
Typically your full legal name (or the original purchaser's name), your state of residence at the time of purchase or your last known address, and any relevant documentation such as a death certificate or proof of relationship if you are claiming on behalf of an heir.
What if I don't know which state to contact?
Start with the state where you or the original bond owner lived at the time of purchase. If you're unsure, unclaimed.org can help direct you to the right state program.
