In accordance with a discussion with you on March 5, 1975, we attempted to (1) identify the names on the checks you referred to, (2) determine in what Federal assistance programs the persons you mentioned are enrolled, (3) determine the amount of monthly benefits they were entitled to under each program, and (4) verify their correct mailing addresses. We met with Federal, State, and county officials and obtained information from files of the following organizations: the Oldham County Bureau of Social Services, the county Bureau for Social Insurance, and the county Food Stamp Office, La Grange, Kentucky; Social Security Administration district offices in Frankfort and Lexington, Kentucky; and the U.S. Post Office, Crestwood, Kentucky. We obtained copies of (I) the U.S. Treasury checks paid under the Federal Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program from the Division of Check Claims in Washington, D.C., and (2) the State of Kentucky check paid under the federally assisted Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) program. None of the individuals involved were contacted or made aware of the investigation. IDENTIFICATION OF NAMES ON CHECKS Most of the individuals you mentioned are members of the same household, which consists of Mrs. Georgia Frances Mattingly, the head of the household; her husband Lee Mattingly; and their son Willard Mattingly. The Mattinglys' divorced daughter Mary Virginia Wayne and her three daughters Georgia, Virginia, and Betty Jean Wayne also reside in the Mattingly house. Mrs. Mattingly's half- brother, Mr. Willard Alvey, is a boarder at the house. Apparently no connection exists between the Mattingly household and Mrs. Thelma R. Bell, who lives about 4 miles away.
