AITAH for insisting that my husband does not owe his mother $3,000 after she found money owed to him from the unclaimed property website?

She now expects my husband to pay her half since she found it. He asked where the money came from, and apparently his father (still living) had put it away for his education. My husband *joined the United States Navy just so he could get an education.*

After his honorable discharge, he enrolled into culinary school. He completed 2 and half semesters before being hit with a bill from the VA stating they had overpayed his school. (Apparently there is a cap on how much they’re willing to pay)

So, husband dropped out and that’s when we got sucked into working at Jimmy John’s so we could afford to feed our baby. So, the money set aside for him is only *half his* now because he didn’t *complete* his education?

Here’s the thing:

I also checked that website a few months ago on behalf of my husband and I, but I only considered looking into states that *we were adults in*. Neither of us would have considered to check Kansas since he never worked in Kansas as a child. Had he not given her his SSN, he could have just as easily filed for the money owed to him himself. His mother only just a couple of months ago bragged to my husband and I about how they are officially *millionaires* after their 401Ks and retirement. So, why is she suddenly checking for lost money *24 years* later?

The money has been received, and turns out, it’s a $6,000 check written in my husband’s *and only my husband’s* name..mailed to my husband’s house. Only able to be deposited *by my husband* who *will be taxed on it*
