After moving I filed a claim for reimbursement of my expenses. They were taking so long that I filed a number of claims, adding my addition expenses, but I told them each time I was only updating my previous claim. All worked out well and I was correctly reimbursed, although three months after the actual expenses.

Anyway, I was reviewing my forms and realized I had not claimed an additional $1,000 to which I was entitled. So I filed another claim, asking only for the $1,000. I did not include any of the previous figures. I only claimed $1,000.

Next thing I know they deposited $78,000 into my account.

I've already notified them. They want a check for $77,000. Do you think I'll get the Spitzer treatment from the IRS? Maybe I should break it up into several different checks of less than $10,000.

watch, the IRS will charge you tax on the 78k.

Government is not that clever. Noah could have kept the money and it probably would have never been noticed.
