There is no such thing as "free" money.
This is not a scam if that is what you are trying to imply. In fact, the article you linked to actually listed the site I was sent to as one of the legit ones....

First of all, it was back in 2009, so I highly doubt the original checks would be valid. Second, if they have submitted it as unclaimed property, chances are they do not have it anymore.

Tomorrow when I am feeling more up to it, I am going to give the treasury department a call and see if there is anything I can do about the not having "proof" bit. I don't understand why proof of my identity isn't good enough though....
