How to Search Bixby Unclaimed Money
Start at the state level. Go to yourmoney.ok.gov and enter your name. Try your full name first. Then try old names, maiden names, and variations in spelling. Records are linked to whatever name the company used when it reported the account. A name you have not used in years might be the one that pulls up a result.
After the state search, call the Bixby Finance Department at 918-366-8291. Ask if the city has any unclaimed funds in your name. This step is separate from the state check. You could have unclaimed money with both the city and the state, and you would never know unless you checked both.
