How do you reclaim a seized savings account?
I recently went to withdraw the money in my savings account, and found out that it had been seized by the state. How/What do i need to do to get it back? Is there some form to fill out of something?
No, it's nothing like that. It was just not active for a while.
Depends upon WHY is was seized. If you owed back taxes, child support or other court ordered payment and you failed to pay, you won't get it back.
You may not have received any legal documents in advance of the seizure (prevents you from draining your account). You should have received something after the seizure explaining the situation (who ordered the seizure, what was seized, when it was seized, why it was seized, etc).
Contact the bank to see if they have any information. The should be able to tell you what state agency ordered the seizure. I'm surprised the state didn't seize your checking account, too. You can't blame the bank. They were under a court order and you aren't important enough to them for the bank to violate that order.
