Do I have to pay work study money back?

Q. I have been hired for work study but the money awarded was added to my financial aid. It looks like I took on a loan to work for someone... it doesn't make any sense.

A. No, work-study money is wage money allocated to financial aid recipients. If your documents look funny, talk with your financial aid office at your school and get an explanation, or get it straightened out.
