Extended Repayment Period: Social Security now allows beneficiaries more time to repay overpayments, reducing the monthly payback amount to better accommodate financial situations. Withholding Adjustments: Social Security may adjust the amount they withhold to as little as $10 per month to recover overpayments.
If you no longer receive SSI, we may withhold your overpayment from a Federal Income Tax refund and/or from any future Social Security benefits you may receive. If you become eligible for SSI in the future, we will withhold your overpayment from future SSI payments.
