New Program Automatically Connects Illinois Residents To Unclaimed Property
The new 'Money Match' program will automatically return unclaimed assetts such as life insurance proceeds, forgotten bank accounts or other benefits, to an individual taxpayer. State Treasurer Michael Frerichs said taxpayer records from the Illinois Department of Revenue will now be matched with the unclaimed property program so that residents who are owed less than $2,000 will receive a check in the mail without having to file a claim with the state.
