State of Illinois Unclaimed Property I-Cash Program

The state currently has $1.7 billion dollars in cash, plus contents from Illinois bank safe deposit boxes, which need to be returned to Illinois residents. Most assets are transferred to the state after they've been inactive for at least five years.

It's easy for Illinois residents to discover if they have assets waiting for them. Residents have nothing to lose, and everything to gain, by searching the I-Cash website. Discovery is a simple, three-step process:

1. Enter your name in the online search field.
2. If it's a match, fill out and submit the online claim form.
3. Receive your property or cash and enjoy what you've discovered.

Within weeks, residents are reconnected with their cash or assets, allowing them to enter the next exciting phase of discovery - discovering how to use their findings.
