The Illinois State Treasures Office has been counting down the days to Christmas by remembering their successes in 2023. On the first day of Christmas, the office of the Illinois State Treasure recognized the $ 1 billion of interest income the office has generated for the state, day two remembers the $ 2 billion in unclaimed property returned to the citizens of Illinois.
Illinois State Treasurer Mike Frerichs and his team have compiled the 24 accomplishments made by his office and are proud of the work that has been done to benefit the lives of Illinois residents.
One highlight from the year that Frerichs revisits is the $ 17 billion in savings for students looking to pursue higher education.
State Treasures Offices’ often have the bottom line in mind while making decisions that will impact the financial stability of families across their state. Frerichs and his team at the Illinois State Treasures Office see these numbers as people, and that the financial decisions they make will impact the lives of Illinoisans.
As the Treasures Office looks into 2024, Frerich's goal is simple, more. Frerichs wants to see these already thriving programs grow in funds to further set Illinois Citizens up for financial success.
As a holiday treat, the Illinois State Treasures Office directs Illinois Citizens to icash.illinoistreasurer.gov to find unclaimed property and to even share, with the share feature to send funds to a loved one.
Treasurer Mike Frerichs appeared as a guest on the WTIM Morning Show.
