I would not be getting legal advice from your preacher unless he is an attorney.

I don't know who "they" is that is taking money from your pay. I don't handle too much Social Security, but if Social Security has overpaid you and wants to recoup the overpayment, there are things you can do.

Go to your local Social Security office or go to the SSA website (www.ssa.gov). There is a form that must be submitted to request a waiver of the overpayment. If you do not qualify for a full waiver, then see if you can can work out a different repayment plan in which they will take less for an overpayment.
