Told I owe money back on my benefits - 26 weeks in

The agency says I reported earnings incorrectly, but I think I followed the instructions. There are 16 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I cannot afford to repay it all at once.

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.
