Doesn't matter if he has the returned checks, all she has to do is claim that it was a gift.  And even if that weren't the case, the state is going to come after him to recover its costs.  It isn't right, but that is probably what is going to happen.

Your son needs to talk to a lawyer.  If he was living with her and their child while she was receiving welfare for said child, he can be charged with fraud.
