The Taylorville Kiwanis Club heard about the Illinois State Treasurer's “I-Cash” program, at their weekly luncheon Tuesday at the Taylorville Memorial Hospital auditorium.
Ted Thomas of the State Treasurer's Office, told Kiwanis members about the program, which returns forgotten bank account money to Illinois residents.  Last year, the program returned some 140-million dollars to over 40-thousand Illinois residents last year.

Thomas added the State Treasurer's Office, as caretaker of unclaimed funds and property, is still holding some one-point-9 billion dollars in unclaimed money from former bank accounts and other assets, as well as a large vault full of unclaimed items from safe deposit boxes.
Thomas said Illinois residents can find out if any of the unclaimed money or items may be theirs, simply by typing in their name at the I-Cash link on the State Treasurer's web site, illinoistreasurer-dot-gov.
The Taylorville Kiwanis Club is part of global organization of volunteers dedicated to improving the world one child and one community at a time.  Weekly meetings are held Tuesdays at noon at the Taylorville Memorial Hospital auditorium.  For information on the club, go to taylorvillekiwanis.com.
