State Senators Don DeWitte (R-St. Charles) and Dan McConchie (R-Hawthorn Woods) are partnering with the Illinois Treasurer’s Office on September 24 to connect residents with more than $5 billion in unclaimed property and cash. From 10:00 AM until 2:00 PM on Tuesday, September 24, attendees can meet with a counselor from the Treasurer’s Office at Algonquin Village Hall to learn if some of the unclaimed items are theirs. In addition to helping people search for property and cash, counselors can help them file claims.

“There are so many people who aren’t aware that they are owed property or money,” said DeWitte. “On average, one in four people who search the Treasurer’s Office I-CASH database discover property or cash they can claim, and this is a convenient way for people to do a search and get a claim filed.”

“Right now, the state could be holding inheritance money or funds from a forgotten bank account that belongs to you,” added DeWitte. “Don’t let it go to waste. Stop by to see if you are owed money and claim what belongs to you.”

For additional information about this Unclaimed Property Day event, please contact Senator DeWitte’s district office at (847) 214-8245 or email Paige at pbuente@sgop.ilga.gov.
