Unsolicited and free advice:

I am getting a check (probably tiny, but hey) from New York State for unclaimed funds.

This, therefore, is a reminder to check the unclaimed funds websites of not only your current residence, but other states you and your parents have lived in. Check for any tech-adverse friends and family, too.

A few years ago, one older friend got $500 that had been sitting around, after I found her name on the NYS site.

How does this work? Why would you have unclaimed funds in the first place?

You could have moved, leaving a business or government agency unable to get you a refund. You might have issued a payment that was never settled (like a check that was never cashed), or were party to a class action suit that lingered for years and finally settled with a payment due.
