Thanks, this was a big help. The main problem was when Covid hit, the state wasn't requiring people to prove their identity when filing for unemployment. You can obviously see the major flaw in that thought process. Every crook under the sun was filing tons of fraudulent claims. It took them a month or so to realize it was a mistake and starting sending out notices that you needed to verify your identity in order to continue receiving benefits. That's when my wife realized there was an issue (after receiving the notice).
I agree with you in that if the crooks just put their talents to good use. Again, I sincerely thank you for your help!
Cheers, Tom
