Can I collect these funds on my own ?

How much time do I have to claim and is there a potential of the claim expiring?

Depending on the government agency there may be a statute of limitations where if a certain amount of time passes your funds may be absorbed into the holding agency’s general fund and may become irretrievable.

In any case it is wise to pursue the claim as soon as possible.

Why wasn't I notified about the funds ?
In many instances the holding agency will only mail a letter to an address they have on file. Great lengths will usually not be taken to find people like you to notify about the money due to you. Since the agency knows that when a certain time goes by and the rightful owner has not claimed the funds, the agency gets to keep the funds. It is not in their best interest that the rightful owner should know about it.
