Got an overpayment notice, what now? - 5 weeks in

The agency says I reported earnings incorrectly, but I think I followed the instructions. I worked as an administrative assistant before this. I cannot afford to repay it all at once.

Collect your pay stubs and certification records for the weeks they name. Mine showed the error was a date mix-up.

Read the letter for the appeal deadline and act on it, even if you think you will end up repaying. Then ask about a payment plan.
