Told I owe money back on my benefits after 5 years as a teaching assistant

I received a letter saying I was overpaid about $350 on my claim. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I cannot afford to repay it all at once. Who should I talk to first?

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

I asked for a waiver and a plan in the same call, and they gave me both forms. It was less scary than I expected.
