Claim What Is Yours


This blog is shorter than normal so you can get to work and “Claim What Is Yours.”

Illinois' Office of the Treasurer is holding more than $3.5 billion dollars in unclaimed funds. Does some of that belong to you?

Illinois holds these lost funds until they are claimed by either the original owner or their heirs. Property is returned at no cost with the proper identification.

Common types of unclaimed property include: checking and savings accounts, uncashed wage and payroll checks, uncashed stock dividends and stock certificates, insurance payments, utility deposits, customer deposits, accounts payable, credit balances, refund checks, money orders, traveler’s checks, court deposits, uncashed death benefit checks and life insurance proceeds.

Check your unclaimed property by clicking on the link below:
