That's messed up.

He really should get it.

If NY is anything like Michigan (messed up similarly at all).....this happened to me once, I got 2 checks and then was cut off for no reason, and then about 3 years later they sent me several months worth all in one shot. And they didn't say why they sent it or what it was for, so it was just mystery money from the state. It took me awhile to figure it out.

Maybe that will happen to him too.
