I-CASH IN MY HOMETOWN OF PONTIAC MONDAY 11-3: all day. Please join me As State Treasurer, I will be hosting five I-Cash, Unclaimed Property, visits in my hometown of Pontiac on Monday, November 3rd.

Some examples of unclaimed property currently held by the treasurers office include: * Money from inactive savings and checking accounts * Unpaid wages or commissions * Stocks, bonds and mutual funds * Money orders and bill overpayments * Paid-up life insurance policies * Safe deposit box contents Below is the list of times and places where my staff and I will be on Monday, November 3rd, 2014.

Our Unclaimed Property Divisions overheads, including staff, computers and travel, are paid with program funds, and not by tax dollars. In 2011, our first year in office, the program marked the first time in history that the Treasurers office returned more than $100 million to the people who owned those assets. The total returned for 2012 was $129 million, a 27 percent increase over the previous year. In 2013, the program reunited more than $139 million in cash and other assets to their rightful owners, representing a 69 percent increase over 2010. In the first half of 2014, the program returned $71,441,744 to 32,257 claimants. To find out if you have unclaimed property through I-Cash, please visit my website at treasurer.il.gov and follow the I-Cash link. The website is updated every Sunday, with an average of 25,000 names, to reflect new properties remitted to my office.
