The Illinois State Treasurer’s office is hoping to reunite Illinois residents with their unclaimed property.

The office holds unclaimed property, which could be lost bank accounts, insurance policy proceeds, forgotten safe deposit boxes and more.  Residents can check the database by going to Illinoistreasurer.gov and clicking on the “I-Cash” link.

Treasurer Michael Frerichs says his office is currently sitting on nearly $3 billion that doesn’t belong to the state, but may be owed to you.

There are multiple situations where a person or business could be owed money. Treasurer Frerichs even has experience in an instance, where money was owed to him.

The unclaimed property division in 2017 paid out more than $160 million in claims, the largest being $1.3 million.

You can listen to the full interview with Illinois Treasurer Michael Frerichs this Sunday at 11am on the Southern Illinois Insider on WMIX AM940/96.5FM and 94.1FM.
