I face something analogous several years back. I got a check in the mail from the insurance I had then through the company I worked for. It was for $25.00, if I recall correctly, and I had no idea why I'd gotten it. It took a phone call or two, but I eventually learned that I'd been charged a co-pay some two years earlier when I'd broken an arm that I should not have been charged.

The insurance people were astonished that I didn't simply cash the check without asking questions. But I couldn't do that, not if it was something that shouldn't have been sent to me.

I do hope you bring us up to date when you find out what's going on.
