Unclaimed money in Chicago: common questions
How much unclaimed money is there in Chicago?
46 unclaimed property records in our database are filed under Chicago addresses, worth $458,572 in total. The median record is $4,592 and the largest is $59,425. Those are records of $2,500 and up with no claim activity against them — smaller amounts exist too and are equally claimable.
Why would Chicago have my money?
Property is filed under the address the company had on record when it lost track of you, not where you live now. If you have ever lived in Chicago — even decades ago, even briefly — a dormant account, an uncashed final paycheque or an insurance refund from that period could be sitting under that old address.
Who is holding unclaimed money from Chicago?
The companies that reported the most Chicago records are Variable Annuity Life Insurance (4), Metropolitan Life Insurance (3), Pacific Gas and Electric (2). The money is no longer with them — by law they handed it to Illinois State Treasurer, which now holds it in your name.
Is it free to claim unclaimed property in Chicago?
Yes. Illinois State Treasurer charges nothing. You can file yourself at no cost, and nobody legitimate will ever ask you to pay a fee before you have been paid.
