A lot of pop culture icons count Michigan as their home – the 'Motown' music label, Madonna (hailing from Bay City), Diana Ross ( a native of Detroit), Eminem, Stevie Wonder, Bob Seger… the list of topnotch musicians goes on and on. MI is also home to the automobile capital of the world Detroit, affectionately known to natives as Motor City (hence the term 'Motown') and 'The World's Cereal Bowl'- Battle Creek, MI which is home base of the Kellogg's company. Without a doubt, many assets essential to pop culture have come from 'The Automotive State'. There are less known assets in Michigan that even most residents do not know about though – hundreds of millions of dollars in Michigan unclaimed money! This cash is just sitting in the MI Unclaimed Money Dept. instead of in the hands of the owners of the lost financial assets.
According to the State Treasurer's Department, "The Michigan Department of Treasury has millions of dollars in lost or forgotten assets from dormant bank accounts, uncashed checks, valuables left in safe deposit boxes and stock certificates. Because these properties were considered abandoned and unclaimed by the bank or company entrusted with them, they are turned over to the state, as required by law. The Michigan Department of Treasury is the custodian of these assets and returns them to their owners (or the owners' heirs) when they are rightfully claimed."

The owners of Michigan unclaimed monies might've forgotten about their assets while moving to another city or getting a new job. This is very common in the fast-paced lives we're all living now, and not remembering to leave things like a forwarding address is very easy to do. Consequently, mailed notices and checks often do not reach the addressees and are returned to the sender (the IRS or businesses and financial institutions), where they stay until the 'dormancy period' passes, and state law dictates that these assets be turned over to the state. In Michigan this period is 5 years for most unclaimed funds.
