ALTON– The office of state Rep. Monica Bristow, D-Godfrey, will be partnering with the Illinois State Treasurer’s office to host an I-Cash event on Tuesday, Feb. 27th from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m. at the Hayner Public Library at the Alton Square Mall, located on the 1st floor across from J.C. Penney’s at 132 Alton Square.
“As a part of ongoing efforts to return Illinois property to its rightful owners, we hope these I-Cash events make it convenient for residents to check and see if they have unclaimed property,” said Bristow. “Each year, there is a large amount of unclaimed property tax refunds, security deposits and paychecks, among other items that have been forgotten about by owners, which are then held by the Treasurer until their rightful owners can be found.”
