Guv'Mint Just Gave Me $3k....What To Do With It?

I mean...hookers and blow....
The Story: A couple of months ago I got a letter saying I needed to verify my identity for the department of labor. The only times I've dealt with the dept of labor in my life was in the crash of 2008 when I got laid off and during Covid lockdowns. I honestly thought I owed them money, but I verified.
Today, my bank called me and said, "Sir, you just had over $3,000 deposited into your account from the State of Alabama. Since, it's an inactive account, what would you like to do with the money?" I have changed banks, but I might switch back if they are calling me when I have extra money.
So, I'm driving down to pick up the check.
Outside of hookers and blow....what should I do with this minor windfall?

Put $2,500 down on a $99K truck to lower that payment to $1,500\mo for 8 years.......set the $500 aside for your first tank of gas.

You could get two months of TD Premium(tm).

Honestly, I'm probably going to pay all this months bills and take the remainder to the casino and run it for 2 hours and see what happens.

Sounds like a scam call but I suppose going to the bank directly would confirm it.

Likely a ruse by local police department enticing you to show up so they can arrest you on an outstanding warrant.
What are you wanted for baw?

It's not. It's a small local bank. I used to work for them as an internal auditor. I know the woman that called me.
Maybe that's why they called me. I left $.50 in that account just to keep it open when I changed banks. She called me at like 8:20 this morning and told me that I'd just had a large deposit into my account.

Why did they give you $3k?

When I was furloughed for Covid because I could not do my job, I was getting (I think) $768 a week. One week it just stopped even though I was filing. I thought I did everything they asked, but it was never resolved. Apparently, it was a clerical error and they owe me money I've already paid taxes on. So...not free money, but near free.

Bank it. They will ask for it back later. Probably with interest.

Give it back to the taxpayers
