Oklahoma teachers who mistakenly received $15,000 to $50,000 in bonuses are now being told to give it all back

• Some teachers in Oklahoma are being told to return tens of thousands in bonuses they got by mistake.
• At least nine of them received bonuses of up to $50,000 late last year, local media reported.
• Some say they face financial ruin because they've already spent the money on debt or house payments.

A bonus program for Oklahoma teachers erroneously gave educators large payouts and then told them to reimburse the state months later, even though some had already spent the money.
