    Anyone can put a lien on a house, but only the IRS can repo it.
    Only when you sell the house does the lien become due.
    Work out a payment plan with the lien holder. You should be fine.

    I think you meant the letter said they could sue; that is correct as they could sue for an overpayment of benefits. If your husband is sued and a judgement is rende against him, the judgement when recorded becomes a lien against any property your husband owns. If he was over paid, shouldn't he repay them?

    Also remember depending on why they "over paid" can also be a criminal offense, such as not properly reporting wages, claiming when not entitled and so on. So be careful in this. Also normally they want a payment plan,
