Is There a Way to Fight the Department of Social Services?

My wife and I receive SNAP benefits to help get food we need. We recently found out that our case worker (now former case worker) failed to input all of my wife s educational info and because of this we are being told WE have to pay back almost $500. The fraud investigator told us DSS-8554 essentially says it doesn t matter who is at fault, the recipients must pay back regardless. We found out that our case worker quit very soon after the error was discovered. Both papers we received in the mail clearly state it is due to administrative error.

While it isn't your fault, you received benefits you were NOT entitled to and therefore the government has every right to get it back.

Unfortunately, overpayment is overpayment.
It's not fair, but you do owe it back because you apparently did not qualify for the higher amount. Ask for a repayment plan.

If you received benefits you were not entitled to, then you have to pay them back, end of story.
If the error was made and you got LESS than you were supposed to and found out, would you demand the money or would you just say "oh well, it was a mistake."

It wasn't yours and they want it back. You can work out something minimal. But it does go back.

Doesn't matter...you were overpaid and need to pay it back.

If the worker had given all the info correctly, you wouldn't have gotten the money, right?
