[AUG. 9, 2006]
SPRINGFIELD -- State Sen. Larry Bomke,
R-Springfield, is working with Illinois State Treasurer Judy Baar
Topinka in a joint effort to locate central Illinois residents who
may be the owners of abandoned or unclaimed property.

Bomke said that a number of area residents have abandoned property
in their name that can be claimed and that most claims are assets
exceeding $100. "There are millions of dollars in unclaimed money
that people have either lost or forgotten about, and in some
instances, weren't even aware that they had," explained Bomke. "The
treasurer's office has implemented a Cash Dash program, and its
entire objective is to reunite Illinois residents with their
unclaimed property."
Bomke encouraged residents to visit the treasurer's Cash Dash
site at http://www.cashdash.net/,
enter their name and see if they have abandoned property in their
name. Unclaimed property can include bank accounts, stock and
dividends, wages, bonuses, commissions, refunds, safe deposit boxes,
insurance payments, gift certificates, credit memos, account
receivable credits and payables; real estate, however, is not
included.
