DES MOINES, Iowa — Nearly $7 million worth of checks issued by the state of Iowa have gone uncashed in the last 19 months, and it’s not easy to find out if any of that money is yours.

The Des Moines Register published Sunday an online database of 45,197 unclaimed checks for income tax refunds, contract work and a variety of other things. More than 96 percent of the checks come from human services, revenue and transportation departments.
