Wanted to share an email from a local USSS agent (received approval from agent to share)

Subject:  How to return mailed UI checks that were never applied for legitimately 

Date:   July 1, 2020
Please see the attached document and disseminate as you see fit.
If one of your members received a mailed UI benefits check that they did not apply for, please see the list for which address and POC for the listed states. 
As fraudulent deposits get returned back to states and since reverse ACH codes for fraud does not exist, fraudsters may then request a debit card or mailed check to be sent without scrutiny.
This allows for you to be aware of the situation and have a response ready if your bank encounters such a situation.

This list is growing so it will be updated periodically.
