A woman said she is unable to get $19,000 in unclaimed funds from the Illinois State Treasurer due to a legal loophole.
A record-breaking $200 million in forgotten cash and securities were returned so far in the 2019 fiscal year, Illinois State Treasurer Michael Frerichs said Monday.
Thanks to Eyewitness News, nearly 18-hundred people are richer, and billions of dollars are still up for grabs in unclaimed funds across New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
