Lawmaker invites constituents to stop by to see if the state is holding their property

PEORIA, IL- Rep. Jehan Gordon-Booth (D-Peoria) will be teaming up with the Office of the Illinois State Treasurer to host an I-Cash Day at various locations throughout the area on Monday, April 29th. This event had been rescheduled due to adverse winter weather conditions.

“Illinois banks and businesses are required to turn over any unclaimed property after five years to the Illinois Treasurer’s Office, who holds this unclaimed property or money until the rightful owner has been found,” Gordon-Booth said. “During these difficult economic times, it would be wonderful to find money that you didn’t know you had. If you are owed anything, I want to assist you in getting your claim information and owed assets returned as soon as possible.”

Staff from the State Treasurer’s office will be on hand for this free public event to help people search the online I-Cash database and offer assistance in filling out the necessary paperwork to receive found assets. Common forms of unclaimed assets include unpaid wages, overpayments on bills, life insurance policies, and even safety deposit box contents.

Gordon-Booth is planning three I-Cash Day stops that will be available to the public on Monday, April 29:

Kroger Grocery Store from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM at 1405 W. Garfield Ave., Bartonville

City Link Transit Center from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM at 407 S.W. Adams St., Peoria

Kroger Grocery Store from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM at 3311 N. Sterling Ave., Peoria
