What if the money had been diplomatically sliced into half?

Let’s say the money I have been entitled to has been neatly cut before I even receive the cheque.  And when I receive the cheque there is no indication of tampering or delegating. If I do not know my money is being siphoned off by someone else, how can I begin to look for solutions to the problem?  For one thing, the idea that I am being misrepresented as (through mistaken charitable intent) willingly and supposedly devotedly refusing the money for aesthetic reasons rankles me enormously. 

Also The situation is aggravated with the unwise delegation by a person who is receiving social assistance of the essential monies allocated to her. This, to the officers writing the cheques could be very easily deemed offensive. The question arises in my head as to what would happen if, the authorities that write the cheque, eradicate any traces of the original sum of money that has been delegated to me? Especially if the sum has been tampered with.
