State Treasurer Frerichs’ office has about $2.5 billion in unclaimed property. The unclaimed property is held in differing forms, which include savings and checking accounts, customer deposits, payroll checks, refund checks and more. During the event, a representative from the treasurer’s office will be able to check the I-Cash database, explain the steps to claiming property and answer any questions from attendees.
“New properties get added to the system month-to-month, so I encourage everyone to take advantage of the opportunity to meet with someone from the treasurer’s office,” Stuart continued. “Even if it’s just a small amount of money to claim, every dollar counts!”
