A record $21.8 million (US$14.5 million) in unclaimed money has been returned to New South Wales (NSW) households and businesses this financial year, with a further $234 million still up for grabs.

Revenue NSW holds payments, refunds, unpresented cheques, dividends, and other unclaimed money when people move, die, change their name or lose relevant paperwork.
