The 22-year-old receives a dependency check from the Department of the Treasury to help with college expenses, because his father served in the U.S. Air Force.
Smith’s mother, Patricia Attwood Smith, told WTVM, “He immediately, immediately went to the VA officer at Fort Benning … (and) turned in the check.” She added she is proud of her son and knows his father is smiling down on him.
Smith was told the check could have been a misprint or the office could have been hacked. The VA inspector general assured Attwood Smith that the check will get back to where it belongs.
