Lakeville couple flooded with state mail on paid leave, unemployment benefits addressed to mystery businesses A Lakeville couple says they are receiving a growing stack of official letters from Minnesota’s Unemployment Insurance and Paid Family and Medical Leave programs — all addressed to businesses they have never heard of and have never operated from their home. Despite multiple phone calls and letters to the state, the couple says the mail keeps coming. Since mid-February, the homeowners say they have received more than 20 official letters from Minnesota’s unemployment and paid leave programs addressed to companies they say have no apparent record of existing. “We’ve lived here for 22 years,” the homeowner told Alpha News. “We’ve never run a business out of this house. It’s a purely residential neighborhood.” “We just don’t want our address associated with something fraudulent,” the homeowner said.
