Ugh, I've been there. It's such a headache. First thing you should do is carefully review the notice. Make sure all the information is correct. Sometimes they make mistakes, and you can appeal if there's an error.

Yeah but what if everything looks right? I'm in the same boat and I'm pretty sure I didn't do anything wrong š

If everything looks right, you might still be able to request a waiver or set up a payment plan. Don't panic, there are options!

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone about this! I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Ize0EkN4HDI

Sounds too good to be true. Has anyone else tried this?

$20 just to talk to someone? That's ridiculous, we shouldn't have to pay for customer service š

I get it, but for me it was worth it. Spent hours trying to get through before. This saved me so much time and stress.

How long did you have to wait? I'm considering trying this.

It took about 45 minutes, but I didn't have to do anything. The service called me when an agent was on the line.

Here's what you need to know about overpayment issues: ā¢ Don't ignore it! That'll only make things worse. ā¢ Gather all your documents related to your claim. ā¢ If you disagree with the overpayment, file an appeal ASAP. There's usually a deadline. ā¢ You can request a waiver if repayment would cause financial hardship. ā¢ Payment plans are often available if you can't pay it all at once. ā¢ Keep copies of EVERYTHING you send them. ā¢ Try to get help from a legal aid organization if you're really stuck. Hang in there, OP. It's a pain, but you'll get through this!

It's usually because of a change in your eligibility or a reporting error. But yeah, it sucks when it happens.

Quick question - how much are they saying you owe? I'm curious if it's similar to what they hit me with.

Pro tip: start setting aside some money now if you can. Even if you appeal, it's good to be prepared. I learned that the hard way š

Has anyone successfully appealed an overpayment? What was your experience like? Asking for a friend š

I did! It took forever, but I won my appeal. Make sure you have all your ducks in a row and don't miss any deadlines!

I tried and failed š But I think I messed up some paperwork. Definitely get help if you're not sure about the process.
