It's reparations for all those years he had to pay exorbitant taxes. I don't need the checks either but if they're giving me back some of the money I paid the IRS when I was in a 23% tax bracket that's fine with me.
I'm pretty sure they're not set up for you to give it back.
We just put the money into a GET (guaranteed education tuition) account for the grandkids.
Well, considering he served his country 27 years in the military, he most certainly earned them.
I told my wife do whatever with it, distribute to the grandkids, donate to one of his Catholic charities, spend it on herself.
