Ok...I've received two other checks that were pretty unexpected from the Fed gov...one is for a small amount but the other is for a fairly large amount. Is this something I should probably check on or should I leave it alone? I guess I should add that I've already received my tax rebate check for the amount that I was told I would receive already.
pretty much your decision right? if you don't mind doing something that might be 'wrong' if it ends up in your favor, then keep it. There's probably some risk, and we all know the government generally doesn't hand out free money...so I don't think anyone can give you the specific reason without knowing your situation. if you want to do the 'right' thing, then check on it. Worst case, they take the money back...best case, you keep it and you know it's yours (and why it's yours, hopefully) your own risk/reward tolerance somewhat
