Participant with fraudulent Social Security Number

[Guest Inquire]

There is a participant who was terminated for using a false social security number. They have approximately $500 in their account. Are they entitled to receive the funds and if yes, does anyone have suggestions to go about determining the correct social security number? I suppose their name could be incorrect as well. What steps can be taken in this situation?
