When I applied for public assistance I thought you could have some income, but now they are telling me I have an overpayment because I worked part time.

You are supposed to fully disclose all income. They tracked you through tax records probably, so now you owe them the money back. It might be considered fraud not to disclose.

Yeah, look, getting public addistance is based on how much income you make. So if you have a part time job you are gonly going to get X amount of money from public assistance. If you lie (and you did) and say you don't have a job then they are paying you more than they are supposed to.
One, now they are going to want the money back.
Two, you are not going to be able to get ANY public assistance for at least 1 year.
Three, you are probably going to get some probation or jail time for fraud, cause that's what it is.

It is very simple. Which side of the bars do you like looking from?

They want their money back more than they want to prosecute.
Set up a repayment plan and stick to it.
