"Unclaimed Money: How to Check if You're Owed"

The Michigan Department of Treasury holds millions of dollars in unclaimed property, including dormant bank accounts, uncashed checks, and valuables left in safe deposit boxes. Governor Gretchen Whitmer has proclaimed February 1, 2024 as Unclaimed Property Day in Michigan to encourage residents to reclaim their lost assets. The state holds over $2 billion in unclaimed property and returns more than $130 million each year. Michiganders are urged to check if they have unclaimed property and can initiate a claim through the state's website.
