“The ICASH Event is a great opportunity to speak directly to staff from the Illinois State Treasurer’s Office about the process of filing a claim,” said Schmidt. “I highly recommend residents in Cahokia Heights to stop by to see if they are owned any forgotten assets.”
ICASH events help residents across Illinois locate and reclaim unclaimed property. Since 2015, more than $2 billion in assets have been returned to Illinoisans. Unclaimed property can include everything from forgotten bank accounts and uncashed checks to insurance payments, stocks, and even the contents of safe deposit boxes.
The State Treasurer is holding more than 5 billion dollars in unclaimed funds for Illinoisans. The State holds these lost funds until they are claimed by either the original owner or their heirs. Property is returned at no cost with the proper identification.

Representative Kevin Schmidt represents the 114th District, which includes a portion of St. Clair County.
