You may have money waiting for you

SurplusScout is a private company, not a government agency or law firm. Recovery is not guaranteed, and you may be able to pursue funds yourself.

What to expect

Trust is earned with evidence

01

Official sources

See the government agency, source date, and public-record link behind a possible case.

02

Exact fees first

Review the lawful percentage, dollar example, and estimated claimant share before authorization.

03

Your choice

Explore self-filing where appropriate, ask for a call, or use secure assistance without pressure.

04

Uncertainty stops

Missing, stale, conflicting, or legally unsafe requirements trigger a human hold—not a guess.

From public record to prepared claim

The system hunts. Compliance decides what moves.

SurplusScout is designed around one operating loop: discover the money, verify the facts and rules, find the right person, earn authorization, and prepare the correct claim.

The hard gate

No verified rule, no automation

Fee limits, disclosures, deadlines, assignment rules, direct-payment authority, solicitation restrictions, and filing requirements are tied to official sources. Unknown or conflicting requirements place the case on hold.

Find official records

SurplusScout monitors eligible government sources and preserves the source URL, agency, record date, and original evidence.

Verify before outreach

Every case must pass source, identity, contact, and jurisdiction-specific compliance checks before automation can proceed.

A clear case journey

    Find and verify

    Monitor eligible official sources, preserve evidence, deduplicate records, and validate the underlying facts.

  2. 2

    Research and contact

    Research lawful contact channels, clear compliance, and use transparent outreach with opt-out controls.

  3. 3

    Authorize and prepare

    Disclose the exact fee, generate jurisdiction-specific documents, collect only necessary files, and build the package.

  4. 4

    Track and reconcile

    Monitor verified deadlines, agency status, claimant proceeds, lawful fees, payment, and the complete audit trail.

Transparent fees

Pay only under a permitted arrangement

There is no subscription for claimants. Fees vary by jurisdiction and claim type, so every case is calculated from verified rules and disclosed before authorization.

Assisted recovery

Up to 10%target fee, only where legally permitted

The proposed fee is the lower of our 10% target or the verified legal maximum. A lower cap controls. If the arrangement is prohibited, it is not offered.
