Today I open the mail and I find a goddamn $1900 fine for some administrative fuckup with my welfare payments I took years ago. Apparently I was overpaid even though at the time I was assured by the welfare department that I was entitled. What confuses me is why the fuck Now after more than 18months do they figure it out? are they retroactively changing the entitlement criterias?


It's not the end of the world, but it does mean a huge dent in my savings. I am going to chase this matter up right first thing in the morning. God dammit, this is like half a month's pay.
