Searching for Treasury Securities
Treasury Hunt® — TreasuryDirect
As of September 30, 2025, the Treasury Hunt® tool is no longer available. This development 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. Each state has secure access to 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, which is the official resource run by the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators.

When contacting your state’s unclaimed property office, have the following information available:
- Full legal name (or name of the original purchaser)
