In light of the very limited information available, we recommend reporting these items as unclaimed property to the State Treasurer. You also may wish to contact the State Treasurer for some further direction before submitting a report on these items, as your bank will be unable to provide most of the required information (such as a name and last known address for a possible owner, or even the date of the bank’s last interaction with the owner).

For resources related to our guidance, please see:

• Revised Uniform Unclaimed Property Act, 765 ILCS 1026/15-402 [Effective 1/1/18] (Requiring holders to report “the name, if known, last-known address, if known, and Social Security number or taxpayer identification number, if known or readily ascertainable, of the apparent owner of property with a value of $5 or more,” among other information.)
