State Senator Seth Lewis is collaborating with the Illinois Treasurer’s Office to help residents of the 24th Senate District connect with over $5 billion in unclaimed property and cash. The event is scheduled for Thursday, June 18, from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM at the Wood Dale Public Library.

Attendees will have the opportunity to meet with a counselor from the Treasurer’s Office to determine if any unclaimed items belong to them. The counselors will assist individuals in searching for property and cash as well as filing claims.

“We have had tremendous success in helping people find cash and property they didn’t even know they were owed,” said Lewis. “I’m glad to be bringing this popular event back to the 24th District.”

The ICASH Unclaimed Property Day aims to ensure that funds such as inheritance money or forgotten bank account balances are returned to their rightful owners. “Right now, the state could be holding inheritance money or funds from a forgotten bank account that belongs to you,” added Lewis. “Don’t let it go to waste. Stop by to see if you are owed money and claim what belongs to you.”

For more information about this event, interested parties can contact Senator Lewis’ district office at (630) 349-0645 or email Abby at amccarthy@sgop.ilga.gov.
