Cut Sum Notice For Free

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.

If you believe that you may have been overpaid, but feel that it was not your fault and you cannot afford to pay us back: ask for a waiver of the overpayment; and. ask for and complete form SSA 632 (Request for Waiver of Overpayment Recovery).

If you got a letter in the mail that says you were overpaid and need to pay us back, you can request a waiver. Ask us to waive repayment if you can't afford it and feel the error wasn't your fault, or if you believe the overpayment is unfair for another reason. We may ask to see details about your income and expenses.

You might face serious consequences if you don't pay back an SSDI overpayment. The Social Security Administration (SSA) might temporarily pause your monthly benefits. Your federal tax refund and employment check might be affected, as well as your credit.

Overpayments can be recovered by sending back the incorrect paycheck, setting up an overpayment on the Additional Pay page or allowing the automatic retro process to recover the overpaid amount.

If you agree that you have been overpaid, but you feel you should not have to pay it back because you did not cause the overpayment and you cannot afford to repay it, you should file Form SSA-632, Request for Waiver of Overpayment Recovery.

The DWP can agree to waiver (write off) the overpayment. However this will usually only be done in exceptional circumstances where recovery action will result in severe welfare issues for you or your family. The DWP will also look into the circumstances of the overpayment.

In the event of an overpayment, the most important thing to do is inform your employer and formulate a plan for reimbursement. The failure to reimburse the overpayment can lead to strained relationships and in some states, it may result in adverse consequences, such as legal action.

If you'd like to request to repay us in smaller monthly payments, please fill out the Request for Change in Overpayment Recovery Rate (Form SSA-634) and fax or mail the form to your local Social Security office.

The Social Security Administration (SSA) recently removed a bar on recovery of old overpayments ten years or older.
