the correct one for Michigan is...

TREASURY - Unclaimed Property
http://www.michigan.gov/treasury/0,1607,7-121-44435-—,00.html

and it consists of a search engine, plus links to (among others)...

Thanks for posting this. A few months ago I found over $500.00 for my husband from the state of IN.

I was going to post the information but I left for vacation.

Thanks for posting. My name is on the list for my state. Money from a job that I held until 2001.

[dancusa]

Thanks again. I just called the state treasury dept. I am owed 63 dollars.

[MediaMole]

That site has several bad links.

Try

It a nonprofit site that allows nationwide searches.

Wow. Thanks. Found $1,200 for my brother! Think that merits a dinner.

Pinging the Libertarian ping list on this.

In most of these states, if the funds or property goes unclaimed for an certain period of time, by law they become the state's assets.

Today when I checked against both sides of my family, I found several unclaimed assets in two states.

Keep the gubmint's paws off what's yours!

Libertarian ping! To be added or removed freepmail me or post a message here.

Thanks. I found about $44 for myself and some for my dad. Don’t know how much. There are other relatives on some of the state sites, but they’ve passed away.

[elkfersupper]

The state already steals enough.

There is no excuse to let it acquire assets by default.

[zeugma]

Thanks. $80 for me, and $110 for my wife.

[SunkenCiv]

A) I’ve got some in there (and I remember it now)

3) I really hate using so-called HTML 2.0 sites, in case anyone wonders

D) I’m not gonna discuss “3”

Kentucky doesn’t work, either, I got the 404 error.

[CholeraJoe]

Just a word of caution to all: Many law enforcement agencies, State Departments of Revenue and creditors use this method to self-identify persons who owe back child support, state or local taxes, or who have outstanding warrants, liens, or court judgments. If you have any skeletons in your closet, use caution in claiming items reported by an agency that is not identified or recognized.

I found my name against a 20-year-old tax lien that I did not owe.

[happygrl]

Cool.

I've got unclaimed money in two states !

My daughter has a check from an employer in another state !
