Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Illinois

Is it legal for the government to take money from your disability ccheck or tax return because they said public aid overpaid these people ten years ago and five years ago? These people have no idea how much they were overpaid and how much if any they still owe. I feel like the government should have sent them a notice and gave them a chance to pay this back themselves.
