20 year old Sebastian Alvarez was not able to access any unemployment benefits after someone purchased his social security number. According to Milpitas police, a woman had purchased his social security at a flea market 3 years ago for $80. The woman thought she had purchased the social security number legally and didn't realize she was breaking the law.
Alvarez reported the incident multiple times to EDD and says despite the woman apologizing, she continues to use his account and collect money.
