How to see if you are owed money on Michigan Unclaimed Property Day
Setting goals for better money management
Author and Detroit-native Ashley Joi Boyd shares tips for proactively managing your finances in her new book “Financially Fly: Mastering Money and Wealth for Women”.
DETROIT (FOX 2) – More than $2 billion in unclaimed property, including cash, bonds, and more, is waiting to be claimed in Michigan.
These funds can be claimed by their rightful owner at any time, but on Feb. 1, Michigan Unclaimed Property, the state reminds residents of the money and urges them to check and see if they are owed anything.
This money and property is from dormant bank accounts, uncashed checks, valuables left in safe deposit boxes, and stock certificates. After assets are abandoned for a certain period of time, money is transferred to the Michigan Department of Treasury, where it can be claimed.
Amounts can range from $50 to thousands of dollars. Someone I know recently discovered more than $3,000 that belongs to them through the state’s unclaimed property website.
How to search unclaimed property
Visit the Michigan Department of Treasury Unclaimed Property website.
Click “Get Started” and enter your name. You’ll be brought to a page of unclaimed property under your name and similar names.
If you have lived in other states, you can search a nationwide database, too. Find that here.
Claiming property
Select the property you would like to claim, and enter the information needed, including your name, Social Security number, and address.
In some cases, the information provided in the first step is enough to approve your claim. In other cases, you will be asked to provide additional documentation to prove the money belongs to you. This could include a copy of your Social Security card or ID.
If you aren’t sure if unclaimed property belongs to you or someone with the same name as you, you can still file a claim. The department will go through the verification to decide if it is you or someone else.
Once you provide all the necessary information and your claim is approved, the Department of Treasury will mail you a check.
You can also claim property by calling 517-636-5320.
Is there a charge to claim your property?
No. There is no charge. If you find yourself on a website that claims to return your property and is asking for payment – leave that site immediately.
The state of Michigan emphasizes that it does not charge for residents to claim their unclaimed property.
How to track your claim
Once you’ve made a claim and have not received your property, you can track the status.
After you’ve submitted your claim, you’ll get a claim ID. Make sure you hang on to that as you’ll need it to search on the state’s page.
The state says some claims could take up to five approvals before the property is released, so you’re encouraged to check back once you have your claim ID.

Michigan Football S Jordan Young enters transfer portal
Announced on Tuesday evening, Michigan true freshman safety Jordan Young has entered the transfer portal.
A former four-star prospect from Monroe, North Carolina, Young flipped his commitment at the last moment from Clemson to Michigan in the 2025 class. He played in nine games this season for the Wolverines and had 15 tackles and three pass breakups, with all three pass breakups coming in the final four games of the season.
We wish Young the very best at his next college football program.

Tom Izzo angry at former Michigan State star for courtside ejection
EAST LANSING – Michigan State was rolling to a win against USC when there was a stoppage in play with six minutes remaining in the second half on Monday night.
It had nothing to do with what was happening on the court at the Breslin Center.
Referee Jeffrey Anderson blew his whistle to eject a fan sitting a few rows off the floor. The individual booted happened to be Paul Davis, who starred at center for the Spartans from 2002-06.
“He kind of got after the official and he was 150 percent wrong,” Izzo said of Davis after the No. 12 Spartans (13-2, 3-1 Big Ten) won 80-51 against the Trojans on Monday, “and for a guy like me to 150 percent agree with the official, it’s almost illegal.”
Michigan State fans were upset about a foul call on the other end of the floor when Davis stood up and said something Anderson immediately objected to. That led to a hook.
Despite being tossed, Davis attempted to stay in his seat while taking a drink from an alcoholic beverage container. Anderson didn’t let it slide and provided an explanation to Izzo, who was less than thrilled and yelled across the court questioning what his former player was doing.
Davis finally stood up after being told to leave by associate athletic director Seth Kesler but took his time and brushed two hands against his chest. That prompted Izzo to scream, appearing to tell his former center to “get outta here.” Davis was walked up the stairs and watched the rest of the game from a concourse box.
“I love Paul Davis, I really do, he’s one of my favorite guys … but what he said he should never say anywhere in the world and that ticked me off,” Izzo said. “Just because it’s 25, 20 years later, I’m going to have to call him tomorrow and tell him what I thought of it. You know what he’ll say, ‘I screwed up, coach, I’m sorry.’”
Izzo claimed he was told what Davis said was nothing racial or sexual in nature but it was obviously enough to get the boot.
“It was just the wrong thing to say,” Izzo said, “and I’ll leave it at that.”
Davis ranks 10th on Michigan State’s career scoring list with 1,718 points, was a second-round NBA pick by the Clippers and spent four years in the league. Izzo praised the work Davis does with current players but the Hall of Fame coach in his 31st season leading the Spartans has never been ejected from a game.
“He made a mistake but he’s been really good with our players too,” Izzo said of Davis. “In the summer he comes up and helps work a guy out or he’s just around. Jud Heathcote used to always tell me sooner or later the game makes fools of us all. Once in a while, the game makes fools of our fans and definitely it’s made a fool of me more than a couple times.”
