Paying one’s Zakah to persons under debts : giving Zakah for indebted family

Fatawa Question

Assalamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh I gave Zakah to a family who represented themselves as very needy and not having any money and being in debt. They are in big debt but they still have money (much less than their debts) that they are living on since the husband cannot get a job. Is the Zakah valid or do I need to repay it ?
