State Senator Don DeWitte (R-St. Charles) is teaming up with the Illinois Treasurer's Office to help residents of Kane, McHenry, and DuPage Counties discover and claim their unclaimed property and cash. The event, called Senator DeWitte's Unclaimed Property Day, will take place on Friday, February 9, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM at the Dundee Township Park District's Rakow Center in Carpentersville.

According to Senator DeWitte, many people are unaware that they may be entitled to unclaimed property or money. He stated, "On average, one in four people who search the Treasurer's Office I-CASH database discover property or cash they can claim." This event offers a convenient opportunity for individuals to search for their unclaimed items and file claims with the assistance of counselors from the Treasurer's Office.

During the event, attendees will have the chance to meet with a counselor who will help them search for unclaimed property and cash. Senator DeWitte emphasized the importance of not letting potential funds go to waste, urging individuals to stop by and see if they are owed money. He added, "Right now, the state could be holding inheritance money or funds from a forgotten bank account that belongs to you."
