I am out on a limb here, brainstorming...(We do not know what Michael's
mothers name really is)
What would Michael's mother do with a Oceanic settlement check?
Make that 2 checks, since she appears to be the only kin to "dead" Michael
and Walt.
(Official story; Oceanic 6 were only survivors. Remaining passengers
though not dead, are dead officially. Susan, Michael's ex and Walt's
mother is dead. Oceanic 6 received a settlement check, I am betting so did
the relatives of the other passengers, 'killed' in the crash)
Maybe Michael's mother (I am reluctant at this point to call her Noreen)
may have taken renamed grandson Walt and moved from the low income
neighborhood of New York to a sunnier environment.
Maybe Noreen decided to take Walt to LA and "Raise him in in the Sun"

'A Raisin in the Sun'
Michael's mother, actress Starletta DuPois, was in the 1961 film version
and the 1989 Broadway versionof 'A Raisin in the Sun'.
The play is mainly about the Youngers, as they dream of leaving behind the
run-down tenement apartment where they have lived since Lena and Walter
Sr. were married. The son, Walter, a chauffeur, dreams of making a fortune
by investing in an alcohol store but foolishly gives his money to a
con-artist. His sister, Beneathra, a college student, tries to find her
identity and embraces the Back-to-Africa philosophy of a Nigerian friend,
Joseph Asagai. The family's matriarch, Lena, dreams of buying a house, and
does so with money from her late husband's insurance policy, but the house
is in an all-white neighborhood. Their racist future neighbors send one of
their members, a man named Karl Lindner, as a "welcoming committee" to try
to buy them out to prevent the neighborhood's integration. Walter Lee,
suffering the reverses of having been swindled, initially contemplates
taking the money, but ultimately refuses to be intimidated or bought out.
