Abstract:
Forms SSA-4588 and SSA-4589 are used by SSA to update an individual's record to reflect that a payment has been made on their overpayment and to effectuate payment through the appropriate credit card company. The SSA-4588 is sent to overpaid individuals with an initial notice of overpayment; the SSA-4589 is sent to overpaid individuals who have been previously notified of their debt. The SSA-4589 is sent on a monthly basis until the debt is repaid. Respondents are Title II beneficiaries and Title XVI recipients who have outstanding overpayments.
