This story is so devoid of the underlying facts that I have no clue what is going on. I will surmise ( because of the crappy journalism) that you got a 15k sign up bonus. Instead that crappy government started send out amounts in excess of the contract amount — for example 35k. These are contracts under state law— I don’t understand how the 4 years statute of limitations did not run in California . I don’t understand and congressional authority to garnish wages. But then the aerticle is so poor we can only guess.
