This Blockbuster notice legit?

Ehem:
So I, or rather my parents as was my previous address, got this in the mail last week. Now, I did work for Blockbuster, and the date of 3/17/06 was shortly after I left there. I just want to make sure I'm not falling for a quick $50 that ends up screwing me over for anything. The number on the bottom is legit, or at least the automated message leads me to believe. Couldn't find anything immediately when I googled the Payroll address, or "Blockbuster notice funds", but maybe I just suck at google-fu. Anyways, the few flags that went off in my head for "I am owed moneys from a job 3 years ago" are starting to die down, I'm just wondering if anyone else noticed something, or if this is common, or whathaveyou.

The address matches. I would call them. Anything asking for your SSN is suspicious.

So yeah, it would be safer to go into an office with regard to SSN, as always, so maintain caution but this isn't particularly unusual if the other factors add up.
