Find Illinois Unclaimed Assets – Part 2 of 2

(Part 2 of 2)

Although there are quite a few more, Illinois lists the following as the most common sources of forgotten funds: unpaid wages or commissions, abandoned savings and checking accounts, bonds, stock, un-cashed dividends, mutual funds, credit balances, customer deposits or overpayments, safe deposit box contents, money orders, refunds, paid-up life insurance policies, travelers checks. People who have had or know someone who may have had one of these accounts at one time or another is encouraged to search regularly.

The Illinois State Treasury has returned more than $432 million since it took over the unclaimed money program in 1999, $84 million of which was returned in 2006 alone, but with $1.4 Billion waiting to be claimed and more coming in all the time, the pile 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 might be added tomorrow, or next week, or next month, or depending on the type of asset in five years if that's the proper dormancy period. Each type of asset has its own dormancy period in each state, after which state laws make the holder hand it over to the state who will then hold on to it until the rightful owner steps forward to claim it.

Additionally, residents of Illinois may be owed unclaimed money in other states even if they have never lived in or even passed through them. Items like insurance overpayments when an employer uses an out of state insurance company can result in found money located in other states. Issues often also come up corporations are incorporated in another state.

The bottom line is that the state of Illinois is currently home to a massive amount of cash that belongs to its residents who simply need to learn the proper ways to search, how often to search, and where 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.

(Part 1 of 2)

In May 2007, Illinois State Treasurer State Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias stated that the state's "Cash Dash" program currently holds roughly $1.4 Billion in Illinois unclaimed money. The only thing standing between the cash and its true owners is the knowledge that it is out there and the ability to track it down.

Sadly beyond just Illinois, state treasury departments across the nation continue to take in more unclaimed money annually than they give back to the people. Because everyone believes in the old "if it's too good to be true" saying, the majority of people do not believe that there are truly tens of billions of dollars waiting to be claimed nationwide. Even for those few who have learned the truth about unclaimed cash, the best way to track these monies down eludes them in most cases.

The Prairie is State is one of only a few states that holds over a billion dollars on its own, and that means that if you are a resident of Illinois then you have even better odds of locating 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 Illinois list.
