Thanks to Amanda for sharing last week: “So I got a giant bundle of mail on my doorstep today. It has the mail for about a dozen of my neighbors and I’ve seen several similar packets around Mt. Pleasant. I guess check with your neighbors if you’re missing something?
For the record, I separated all of mine and then delivered it at my neighbors houses”

Allie asks: “Not returning to sender help! Lots of tax documents and other mail from USPS that’s for several other people who no longer live at our address. Advice for “returning to sender” successfully?”

Elise writes:
“Any DC folks out there whose tax documents have gone missing in the mail? Two different tax docs came for me while I was on work travel but neither is in the pile of mail neighbors brought in for me. Feeling pretty stressed out about compromised info.
PSA for anyone else worried about fraud after tax docs went missing:
Just got off the phone with someone at SSA who instructed me to file a report w/ the Office of the Inspector General. Call 1-800-269-0271 10a to 4p M-F or file online here.”
In other fraud tips “Important information if you received unemployment tax forms but didn’t file for unemployment benefits”:
“Call DOES at 877-FRAUD-60 if you received a 1099-G Tax Form and did not file for unemployment benefits. DOES will flag the potentially fraudulent unemployment claim for investigation and will directly notify the IRS of any necessary changes to the tax form.”
Jennifer asks: “Are folks in #KingmanPark getting mail?? Haven’t received mail all week” but have also heard reports from other parts of town still not getting mail. Have you gotten any recently?
Thanks to Hilary for sending: “Just had this gem returned by USPS today (12/29/2021). Card was mailed in December of 2020. I’m not sure where the mold came from, but the Georgia Ave. post office feels like a likely culprit. Feels like it had the 2021 we all did.”

“Dear PoPville,
I live in Navy Yard, and found an envelope in my mail from Veterans Affairs addressed to someone in Wisconsin (photo attached). I just dropped it back in the outgoing mail slot (it was prepaid postage), but I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced such egregiously misdelivered mail?”
