There are no federal limitations. If any of the 94 districts impose a limitation, it would be mentioned on the Unclaimed Info page of their website. If you are a subscriber, you can access that page for each district with the icon named “Unclaimed Info for District”. It looks like this:

Since we look through the official documents quite often, we do see an average of 30-33%.

Owners of the Unclaimed Funds

Unclaimed Funds List

In bankruptcy cases, the Debtor is the individual or business who has claimed bankruptcy. The Creditor is the individual or business that was owed money from the debtor. Once a case is over, if the unclaimed money is due to the debtor (All debts were paid and there is an over-payment, undelivered check, etc), their name is put into the Creditor column to show they are the ones owed this left-over money.

No. All debts were taken care of during the bankruptcy. The amounts you see on the unclaimed funds list are all owed to the individual or business listed in the Creditor Column
