Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There has been a reduction of 500 burden hours from 4,520 to 4,020 which is an adjustment of hours because benefit checks were issued after a beneficiary's death prior to notification of the death overpayments, repayment of the debt is not the burden of the person that received a descendant's benefits. The burden is on the bank that improperly failed to close the account and paid out the money. Rather than using the OWCP-20 form that a claimant debtor would complete, these overpayments are recovered using a protected need-to-know Department of Treasury website service to collect from the liable bank.
