ALTON, Ill. – State Rep. Monica Bristow, D-Alton, is partnering with the Office of the Illinois Treasurer to help residents recover any unclaimed money or property rightfully owed to them at two I-Cash events in September.

“The Illinois Treasurer’s Office currently has 2.9 billion dollars in unclaimed funds and valuable items, whether it’s uncashed checks or refunds, or forgotten items in security deposit boxes,” said Bristow. “Last time we hosted an I-Cash, almost everyone who came was able to find money or property owed to them and was able to get help on-site so that they could reclaim it.”
