ALTON – To help reconnect local residents with forgotten or lost property, state Rep. Monica Bristow, D-Godfrey, is partnering with Illinois Treasurer Michael Frerichs’s office on Wed., Dec. 12 to host an I-Cash Event at the Bethalto Village Hall.
“Often times, people are unaware of lost or forgotten property, including paychecks or other money that has been turned over to the state,” said Bristow. “I-Cash events help the state of Illinois return money and assets to their rightful owners. There is a large amount of unclaimed property every single year through tax refunds, security deposits and paychecks, among other items that have been forgotten about by owners.”
