Could there be unclaimed funds out there with your name on them? The New York State comptroller's office is taking new steps to make sure you aren't leaving money on the table. 

New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli says the Office of Unclaimed Funds returns an average of $2 million every day. 

Unclaimed funds can stem from things like utility deposits, trust funds, old bank accounts, uncashed checks or unused gift cards. 

"We're returning more than $2 million a day to New Yorkers, and my office is working to make it easier than ever to reclaim lost money, including mailing some checks directly to their rightful owners," DiNapoli said in a statement earlier this week.
