The Michigan Application For Release of Unclaimed Funds (Claimant) is a form used to claim funds that have gone unclaimed in the State of Michigan. The form must be completed and submitted to the Michigan Department of Treasury to receive the money. It is available in two types: the Claimant Application and the Claimant Authorization. The Claimant Application is used by individuals to claim their own funds. It requires the claimant to provide information about themselves and the fund they are attempting to claim. This includes their name, address, Social Security Number, and any other documents that support their claim. The Claimant Authorization is used by businesses, organizations, and other entities that wish to claim funds for someone else. This form requires the authorization of the legal representative, and it requires the same information as the Claimant Application. It also requires the legal representative to provide a Power of Attorney document. Both forms must be completed and submitted to the Michigan Department of Treasury's Unclaimed Property Division. Once the form is received, the department will investigate the claim and determine if the funds are valid and can be released to the rightful owner.
