Watseka Public Library

Illinois State Treasurer Michael Frerichs’ staff will be at the Watseka Public Library on Monday, September 14, 2026, 10:30 am – 12:30 pm, to help reunite citizens with missing money property through the I-Cash program.
In Illinois, the state treasurer is tasked with safeguarding missing money, such as unpaid life insurance benefits, forgotten bank accounts and unused rebate cards. Illinois holds more than $5 billion in unclaimed property. The state treasurer is legally required to return the property to the rightful owners no matter how long it takes. Individuals can search the state treasurer’s database for their name or the name of their business or non-profit at www.illinoistreasurer.gov/icash.
