What is a Notice of Assessment Action

[iridescentcolors]

My question involves unemployment benefits for the state of:
I received unemployment last year and had to go through a hearing over the phone with my employer and a hearing officer because the employer appealed my request. To make this short, I lost (wrongfully) and was charged the unemployment money I received. I didn't have a job since then until 2 weeks ago because I became a full time student at my local college and decided to get this job only for a month to help me pay some bills I had before school starts again. After two weeks, I receive a letter saying that they are aware I am working and expect full payment or they will "start notice of assessment action against you". I was planning to quit in 2 weeks. I want to dedicate myself to school only but I'm concerned. If I quit- will they hold the balance due until the next time I work? Or, do I have to work just to pay this off? This is Texas by the way. Hopefully someone can help! Thanks.

"Rightly" or "wrongly" denied, you owe the money and yes, the state DOES expect you to get a job so you can pay it back. School is going to have to wait.
