Find Your Unclaimed Property in Illinois – I-Cash Program Event

Have you ever wondered if you might have unclaimed money waiting for you?

It happens more often than you might think.

To help residents reconnect with their forgotten funds, the Illinois State Treasurer's office, led by Michael Frerichs, is hosting an event through the I-Cash program.

The event will occur at the Saint Joseph Township-Swearingen Memorial Library on October 29, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

According to the Illinois State Treasurer, an estimated 353,026 residents of Champaign County have unclaimed property or funds, totaling over $52 million.

Statewide, the amount exceeds a staggering $5 billion! This money includes forgotten bank accounts, unused rebate cards, and unpaid life insurance benefits.

State Treasurer Frerichs says, "For most people, it is difficult to believe that they might have overlooked an investment account or forgot to pick up a final paycheck. However, the thousands of names in our database show that it happens too often."

Illinois law requires that unclaimed property, no matter how long it takes, be returned to its rightful owners.

If you’re unable to attend the event, you can still search for your name or business in the Illinois Treasurer’s I-Cash database online. It’s quick, easy, and could help you discover lost funds!
