Locate IL Unclaimed Assets – Part 1 of 2
(Part 1 of 2)
In May 2007, Illinois State Treasurer State Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias stated that the state's "Cash Dash" abandoned asset program currently holds roughly 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 waiting to be claimed and the ability to track it down.
Sadly beyond just Illinois, state treasury departments across the country continue to take in more unclaimed property annually than they hand back to the citizens. Due to the fact that everyone believes in the old "if it's too good to be true" saying, most people do not believe that there are truly tens of billions of dollars that can be claimed across the country. Even for those few who have realized the truth about unclaimed assets, the best way to track these monies down eludes them more often than not.
The Prairie is State is one of just a few states that is holding over 1 billion dollars on its own, and that means that if you are a resident of Illinois then you have even better odds of finding a claim in your name, especially when you consider that the state has just under 13 million people and there are more than 10 million names on the state's Illinois list.
