My husband received his card in a New England state before 1950 and still has the original. As a school bus driver in Texas he gets unemployment benefits for the vacation days. A few months ago his benefits were witheld until he was interviewed and was told three other persons hold a similar card with the same number but as he was able to provide the original information on the oldest issued card his was judged genuine. We would like to learn what if anything will be done about the counterfeits but so far know nothing more. Perhaps we all should check with Social Security for fraudelent use of our numbers?
