Title: Changing our Waiver of Overpayment Recovery Rules and our Title II Overpayment Withholding Rate | |
Abstract:
We propose to revise our rules relating to recovery of overpaid Social Security payments or benefits ("overpayment debt”). We propose to codify simplifications to procedures for demonstrating eligibility for waiver of recovery of overpayment debt. We also propose to explain our default rate of withholding when recovering overpayments from Title II benefit payments. In addition, we are conducting a broad review of overpayment policies and may propose further revisions as a result of the review. Our overall goal is to ensure that overpayment recovery does not unduly burden those in underserved, vulnerable, or marginalized communities. The development of this regulation was informed by correspondences, meetings, and a listening session with advocacy groups representing claimants and beneficiaries. Advocacy partner feedback has been critical in helping us to formulate new overpayment policies. For example, as a part of its commitments to DOJ’s Legal Aid Interagency Roundtable initiative, the Agency hosted a virtual listening session with legal aid organizations on June 8, 2023 wherein stakeholders identified numerous challenges associated with navigating overpayment recovery processes. Sixteen individuals, all from organizations, registered for the event. |
