Not really. If the funds were credited to another person's account, it could be just plain human error on the person who inputted the information. Numbers can easily be tranposed and freaky as it may sound, this does occur quite often now that we're in the "age of technology".
Have you contacted your state treasury office to file a dispute? They will have the necessary information (and/or documents) for you to complete. If the funds were credited to someone else's account via ACH (electronic funds transfer), the state treasury office can fax/mail an indemnity letter to the bank that accepted the deposit. Once they receive the letter, that bank will then send the funds back to the treasury office so you can receive your money.
I hope this information helps.

There are many different things they could be charged with... mail fraud, mail tampering, mail theft, larceny, grand larceny if the amount was high enough...

If you signed the cheque you have to prove you didn't give it to them. If the cheque was not signed you can charge them. If the government did it in error call them up and let them know.

That's larceny, pure and simple.
