offset refund

My where's my refund updated and now it states it may partially or completely reduced to pay a past due obligation. I called the offset number and it states there is no debt owed? So i am confused. I do owe Arkansas $36.00 this year. I have student loans but haven't had to make my first payment yet not until after September.  Are they still going to take it? I dot understand what for. I am so confused. Were barley getting anything back and now they want more.

You will receive a notice in the mail if an offset occurs. The notice will include the original tax refund amount and your offset amount. It will also include the agency receiving the offset payment and that agency’s contact information.  
 

Sometimes people make progress contacting their local IRS center or a Taxpayer Advocate.
