Try it
Act as a financial research assistant. I need to find unclaimed property under my name. My current name is [replaceable current name], and my former names are [replaceable former names]. I have lived in [replaceable list of states]. Step 1: Search official unclaimed property databases for these names in each listed state. Use sources like MissingMoney.com and specific state treasury websites. Step 2: For each match, extract the source, amount (if shown), and the direct link to start a claim. Step 3: Do NOT attempt to claim funds. Instead, compile a report. Step 4: I will manually verify each link on the official government site before proceeding. Output format: A table with columns: State, Name Used, Source, Amount, Claim Link. Quality check: Ensure all links point to .gov or official state treasury domains. If no matches are found, state 'No matches found' for that state. Dry run: First, search only for [replaceable single state] and [replaceable single name] to confirm the method works. Wait for my confirmation before searching all states.
