Cash Dash searches in Rock Island County
Illinois State Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias' office wants to return lost, forgotten and abandoned funds to Rock Island County residents.
A representative from Giannoulias' office will conduct Cash Dash searches on the state's online database from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. on January 29th at Moline City Hall, 619 - 16th Street.
The Cash Dash program reunites Illinois residents with their lost or forgotten wealth, also known as "unclaimed property." This wealth can be anything from long-lost bank accounts to entire estates that never made it to their rightful owner.
The Treasurer's office is holding $1.4 billion in unclaimed property for 10.2 million residents and businesses. Of that amount, more than $9.6 million belongs to Rock Island County residents and businesses. The Cash Dash aims to give it all back.
"Cash Dash is free and easy to use, and the chance that you are on the list is greater than you migh think," Giannoulias said. "If you find your name, you could end up with some extra spending money."
