How Do I Get Answers?

Hi,
Social Security overpayments can occur for any number of reasons, so I have no idea what might be involved in your case. If you were overpaid, you should have received a letter explaining the overpayment, although the letters that Social Security sends usually leave much to be desired.
If your overpayment notice doesn't adequately explain your overpayment, you'll need to contact Social Security for a more detailed explanation. If you dispute the fact or amount of the overpayment, you can file an appeal. Or, if you agree that you were overpaid but the overpayment wasn't your fault and you can't afford to repay the overpayment, you can file a request for waiver (https://www.ssa.gov/forms/ssa-3105.pdf).
Best, Jerry
