Told I owe money back on my benefits, operations analyst here

The agency says I reported earnings incorrectly, but I think I followed the instructions. It has been a long 16 weeks. I did not notice any errors at the time. Are payment plans possible?

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.

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.
