What to do if my husband has a warrant for his arrest in another state it is for receiving stolen property and dates back 12 years?

However he did not live in that state at the time of the warrant was issued he was on the other side of the U.S. we believe someone in his family who live out that way has used his social number. We can prove he was working and had no time off. What can we do? This issue continues to haunt us and has stopped him from getting many jobs.

You need to deal with the warrant and the stolen social security number as soon as you can.  What you need to do is to hire an attorney in the state and town where the warrant has been issued and let him or her arrange for your husband to turn himself in voluntarily.  Yes, he has to go there and do so.  Gather all the evidence that you have for the attorney that represents him to allow him or her the ability to show the Prosecutor that what you say is true: he has an alibi for the time frame of the charge.  Good luck.
