Whether you are a business or just your own entity, the idea of money that belongs to you may seem too good to be true. That idea may not be as far fetched as you think. State Treasurer Michael Frerichs says that a lot of people have money that belongs to them that you may not even realize and it’s through the unclaimed property system.

To find money go to illinoistreasurer.gov click on the icash link under unclaimed property. Frerichs says if there isn’t something for you, maybe there is something for your family members. The unclaimed property division puts a smile on Frerich’s face.

Frerichs says 1 out of every 4 people who check the website find something for them.
