California E&S Insurance

I am in a bit of a pickle with unemployment, and I’m very confused. I’ve been collecting unemployment since mid-March, ever since I was laid off from my job. I make money from gifts on TikTok, and the first time I cashed it out, I put on my weekly unemployment application that I was making a small amount of money on the side. I got a call later that week where someone from the Department of Unemployment wanted to know what my extra income was from. I explained to the lady on the phone that I got the money from gifts, or stickers, on TikTok, that equals to real world money, which goes into PayPal, and then in my bank account. She said I didn’t have to put this down for unemployment, because it was a gift, and at that point, the total income from TikTok at this point was around $700. I didn’t for the next few times I cashed out, and I thought all was good. I called in today to recheck and make sure that that lady was correct, and the new representative that I talked to informed me that the other lady was wrong, and that I should I have been filing every time I cashed out, which was four times, because the gifts are, i I guess, considered income. She advised me to call in tomorrow to correct it, but the money has already been payed out to me for those weeks. I had no knowledge that when I was filing I should have been putting my TikTok gift money down, and the agent who I talked to on the phone originally told me contradicting information to what the new agent said. The new agent also wasn’t sure about the legal side of things, whether I’d have to do a repayment or if prosecution may happen, but she thought repayment was the most likely outcome. I feel like i shouldn’t be legally at fault since I was ill advised in the beginning, but I’m scared, and don’t know what to do. Someone, please help.
