This evening my wife opens her mail, 3 separate letters from the VA Employment Commission, her benefits are approved for $×××.00 / week. Letters are real deal, she calls - they confirm this. Then she said she's never filed, she's been employed with same firm for 14+ years. Silence briefly on other end. Now a fraud investigation is ensuing.

Question is how did someone get all that information? The only thing we've done is have H&R block do our taxes. I did an in-person meeting. Nothing on our end over the web.

One letter listed both employers, all information. Her practice was bought-out late last year so our taxes show 2 different firms, but same joint.

Next thing is whoever did this, did it from an electronic device and would have to provide valid bank account and routing number for the gob'mt check to go to, UFB....
