Hello. I am paying a SS over payment of $265 per mo. I am 67 and working 2 jobs to pay this much. SS says that's the lowest payment they can do. True? Balance is now $8500.
Hi,
I turned 66 feb 3, 2020. I am drawing half of my husbands social security. My question is 1994 I was drawing s.s.disability from back surgery and injury. I later was able to work some part time. I went to get work release each time. I went back to work full time 6 yrs ago. When I went in feb. to start drawing they said they over paid me in disability,ty benefits $21,000.00 so I had to pay back over half of my monthly check and repay. I will only get $300 each month for 3 yrs until -aid. Instead of $1028 a month.
I have a overpayment im paying for with ssa if im makin payments every month can ssa take my tax refund
Hi,
No, Social Security won't offset your tax refund to recover an overpayment if you have an approved repayment plan and you are making the agreed upon payments on timely basis.

Hi,
If I set a repayment plan with social security but my name was on the offset line because I set the repayment plan but social security told me they wouldn’t come for my taxes do you think they still will take them? But when I call the offset line it say my refund could be intercept
Hi,
We have experienced multitude of problems with my 26 year old disabled son’s SSI/SSDI benefits, Medicaid, and Medical Assistance. The following agencies continue to make unbelievable systematic errors time after time: Maryland Department of Human Services, Social Security Administration, and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
Hello Larry,
Please help me!
Is there a legal way to protect my savings account when SSA sees that I could pay an overpayment? However, if I do have to give them that money, I will be nearly bankrupt and have to sell my home with no place to go. I do not have enough money to live even in poverty if that money is gone.
Hi,
I'm sorry, but I'm not a lawyer so I'm unable to answer your question. My expertise is limited to Social Security benefits only.
Can Social Security seize my liquid assets in my bank when they say that they have overpaid me? Who in my geographic area (western colorado) has your professional license and would advise me?
Hi,
No, Social Security can't seize funds that you have in a bank account, but they can reclaim benefit payments that were directly deposited if it turns out that the payments weren't due.
my friend was adopted when she was 7 years old...apparently her parents received money for her from social security that she knew nothing about until she applied for her own benefit at age 62 and they told her she would have to repay the money....this seems wrong on so many levels...I have never heard of such a scam....why in the world would she have to repay money they received? thank you.?
