The IL State Treasury has given back over 432 million dollars since it took over the unclaimed funds program in 1999, 84 million dollars of which was given back in 2006 alone, but with 1.4 Billion dollars waiting to be claimed and more coming in every year, the heap of cash will continue to grow.
Due to the fact that money is constantly added to the fund, it is important to check regularly, not just once. Money owed to you could be added tomorrow, or next week, or next month, or depending on the type of property in 5 years if that is the proper dormancy period. Each type of asset has its own dormancy period within each state, after which state laws make the holder turn it over to the state who will then hold it until the rightful owner steps forward to claim it.
Additionally, residents of IL might be owed unclaimed funds in other states even if they have never resided in or even been to them. Things like insurance overpayments when an employer uses an out of state insurance company can result in found money located in other states. Also, issues often arise when corporations are incorporated in another state.
The bottom line is that the state of IL is currently holding a massive amount of cash that belongs to its residents who just need to learn the proper ways to search, where to search, and how often to search. Learning these search methods from locators with years of experience in this field can give you a boost in your abilities to track down your money.

In May 2007, IL State Treasurer State Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias announced that the state's "Cash Dash" program currently holds almost 1.4 Billion dollars in Illinois unclaimed money. The only thing getting between the cash and its rightful owners is the knowledge that it's out there and the ability to locate it.
Sadly in addition to IL, state treasury departments across the nation keep on taking in more unclaimed funds each year than they return to the citizens. Due to the fact that everyone believes in the old "if it's too good to be true" saying, the majority of people refuse to believe that there are really tens of billions of dollars that can be claimed across the country. Even for the handful who have come to accept the truth about unclaimed cash, the best way to locate these monies eludes them in most cases.
The Prairie is State is one of just a few states that is holding over a billion dollars on its own, which means if you are a resident of IL then you have even better odds of finding a claim in your name, especially after you factor in that the state has less than 13 million people and there are more than 10 million names on the state's IL list.
Although there are many more, IL names the following as the most common types of missing money: abandoned savings and checking accounts, unpaid wages or commissions, stock, bonds, mutual funds, un-cashed dividends, customer deposits or overpayments, credit balances, refunds, money orders, travelers checks, paid-up life insurance policies, safe deposit box contents. People who have had or know someone who may have had one of these types of accounts at one time or another is encouraged to search regularly.
