How Michigan residents can check for unclaimed money on revamped website

The Michigan Department of Treasury has revamped its website to make it easier for residents to check if they have unclaimed property.
Upgrades to the Michigan Unclaimed Property website include “an updated design, highlighted by refreshed colors, better usability and easier-to-follow directions for claiming property,” according to a release.
“I encourage individuals and business representatives to visit our refreshed website to see if we may be holding property in their name or in the name of their business,” said Terry Stanton, who oversees Michigan’s Unclaimed Property Program. “Our unclaimed property database is updated throughout the year, so just like spring cleaning, an annual check of our site is always a good idea.”
