<prompt> Human: So to start off I am a disabled veteran and rely completely on my disability checks from the Department of Veteran Affairs. A few days ago I got a letter from the Treasury Department saying I owe 68k to the Department of Defense - NOT the VA and to expect my wages to be garnished... and to top that off they froze my bank account. Prior to this I had still been struggling financially but was slowly making progress towards being able to save something in case of an emergency ... well none of that matters at this point. I have absolutely no money right now I used my last 8 yesterday for gas which was mostly change I found between the seats ... I am trying to stay positive about the situation but for someone who has already attempted suicide more than once and has crippling depression ... This is really messing me up. I am sure it is a mistake there is absolutely no way I could possibly owe 68,000 ... I mean for fucks sake I sleep on a 15 year old broken Walmart futon held together with duct tape and a piece of plywood... and its stuck in the couch position. So if I had this magical 68k they are claiming you could bet your ass Id splurge on at least an air mattress lol I called the phone on the paperwork to try to figure out what this whole thing is about and the woman couldnt be any less helpful if she tried. It says I can request a hearing - so I am absolutely going to do that ... but what am I suppose to do in the mean time? I have like 2 in change ... and thats it. I feel like fucking crying - I just cant catch a break. I have a couple half-siblings but we havent spoken in years so its not like I can ask any of them to Western Union me 100 while I figure things out ... I am feeling really stuck and not seeing too many options. Any advice would be really appreciated ...  <response>: This sounds like something to also contact your state representatives about. Maybe even some local news stations. Also I think its 311 to call for community services but someone can correct me if Im wrong. If you can, also add your state.
