BROADVIEW, Ill. (WLS) -- A phone bank aimed at helping Cook County homeowners is happening Wednesday after a huge response earlier this year.
In March, the Cook County Treasurer's Office gave back more than $12.5 million in exemptions and refunds and Wednesday, they're hoping to give back more money.

The last phone bank was so successful that Cook County Treasurer Maria Pappas says she had to do it again.
For one viewer, she didn't realize that she had nearly $2,000 just sitting there waiting to be claimed. She heard about the phone bank and couldn't believe what happened next.
