Illinois State Treasurer Returning Your Money To You
|
|
Got a Check in the Mail? It’s real. Cash it! The Illinois State Treasurer’s Office “Money Match” program is automatically returning lost money to qualifying Illinois residents without the need to file paperwork or initiate a claim.
The new ‘Money Match’ program automatically will return lost money to Illinois residents without the usual need to gather paperwork or file a claim, Illinois State Treasurer Michael Frerichs said today. The ‘Money Match’ program uses existing technology and state records to match unclaimed cash with qualifying Illinois taxpayers. The property must be $2,000 or less in cash with only one owner. The goal is to return more money, more quickly, and without the need of paper, to Illinois taxpayers.
