      I am the representative payee for my 41 year old son…He has Bipolar I disorder…he’s been receiving SSI checks for 13 years…He has worked so sporadically over the years that I never concerned myself about him making too much money..January of 2024 I received a letter stating he owes $35,000. They said in 2021 he made too much money for about 5 months. I was in shock. My son can no way afford to pay this back. We have had to regularly supplement is earnings over the years in order for him to just get by. My husband and I are both retired and on fixed incomes. I’m worried SSA will come after us for repayment. We have filed the 632 form and in response SSA has schedule a pre phone conference and a second call to speak with the person who will make the final waiver decision. Any suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated..thank you.

    My wife got a letter falsely claiming she was overpaid $6500. We did send SSA a reconsideration form and proof she was not overpaid. She was only paid 4 months that year. They are now deducting 10% of her allowance for the next 5 years until paid back. We can afford the $160 hit, and she is afraid if she does complain they will deduct more. It's just shamful

  • @mickiegray6428

    When I first got sick I had long-term disability from my work. I agreed with to allow their attorneys file for my social security. A few months later I received a call from Social security office confirming some information. I was told during the call I could get survivor benefits and I agreed. Within a month I was receiving $560 month. I think they started in Aug. In Feb of the following year I was awarded my SSDI. Several months later I received a letter I had an overpayment as I shouldn't been receiving survivor benefits and SSDI. I had no idea of this, as I didn't know social security rules. This is social security fault and not mine. I cannot afford to pay the $5600 back as only receive $1327 A onth. I filed out the Waiver. I received a voice mail thanking me for all the paper working I sent but they were going to take $158 A month for 3 years. That was 1 1/2 yrs. ago they have not taken money out. I know received notice for a personal conference. What should I expect from this conference?

    It is devastating to know that Soc Sec Adm is making these mistakes. Most elderly people live on very little funds. I just got a call from a friend. She got a bill for $24,000 because she worked to supplement her SSI benefits to pay her bills. I do not understand what is causing these problem. If a taxpayer paid her whole life social security tax, now she is getting her benefits based on some formula, why the overpayment just because she made extra income. She is 64 and started getting benefits at 62.

    What about SS underpayment

  • @MrVeeBlog
    @MrVeeBlog 8 місяців тому +2

    I accidentally checked the box for Medicare part B and the moment I discovered that, like within a week of filing, I contacted SS to make the aware of the mistake. I am still working and have coverage, so I don't need it. They said they would fix it. A month later it hasn't been fixed, the money is coming out of my SS. After the 3rd month, I went into the SS office and a form was put in directly and that was supposed to stop the withdrawals. It's been almost 6 months and the withdrawals have not stopped. I want that money back. How do I make them listen? What office or paperwork do I have to file, short of getting an attorney to make them stop? If you know that is.

    I have been in the process for over 5 years since 2018 of appealing an SSI case that was initially awarded around 2015 for my mental health disability. I did sign a form to continue receiving benefits during the appeal process. Due to COVID 19, they delayed my case many times. It finally made it to the administrative law stage a little over a year ago and, a couple of months ago, I received a letter that I had lost my case. I did have representation that I paid $2,000 for and they did reimbursed me after I filed a complaint with their office. However, SSA has now sent me a letter saying that I owe $68,000 in overpayments. I do not have the funds to repay it as I am living off of SNAP benefits and limited income. Also, I am pretty sure it is not my fault as they heavily delayed my case and I was not aware of the amount that was accumulating. Let me know what you would recommend. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  • @bobdailey9735
    @bobdailey9735 4 місяці тому

    What should I do first?
    SSA has told me to expect an overpayment and has started an investigation of my case. While the investigation is pending, my SSDI benefits have been SUSPENDED as of July 3rd 2024. My situation is I was still working over SGA while my SSDI application was PENDING in 2020. I stopped working above SGA in November of 2020. SSA now says I was overpaid for the first 10 months of 2020 (which was given to me in a one lump sum retroactive payment in November 2020)
    1) SSA has access to my income via information sharing with the IRS and they have internal records of deductions taken out of my pay towards Medicare etc. in 2020. Why was my onset date of January 1st. 2020 approved without inquiring about my most recent income from January 1st. through date of approval?
    2) I did go over SGA most of 2020 which should count toward a Trial Work Period a/k/a "TWP" rule that allows a recipient to have unlimited earnings for up to 9 months, (not necessarily consecutive) and then reevaluate my eligibility to continue to receive SSDI benefits.
    I consider my 2020 income as a TWP failed attempt to be able to continue working full time.
    3) I applied for SSDI benefits about a week or so into a month in 2020 (I don't remember exactly what month) when my disability prevented me from working above SGA for that month. I then had a slight improvement of my disability for a few more months and finally stopped working all together on November 1st 2020. The reason I applied during that month is I could see my disability was getting worse and my ability to work full time was coming to an end. Am I not allowed to plan for my future?
    My strongest argument is the abandonment of the "Trial Work Period" rule.
    I declare I was not at fault for an overpayment. I request that any benefits suspended beginning July 3rd 2024 and going forward be released asap.
    My most recent benefit amount was $1,563. My $1,500 monthly rent deducts 96% of my benefit.
    I can't afford to repay an overpayment.
    Sincerly, Bob

    I just got one of those letters yesterday. They said since I made so much in 2023, I need to repay all of the payments from may-december. My question is, The money I made in 2023 was PRIOR to me applying for and receiving my ssa benefit. I thought it would not count since I made that money before I even applied for ssa? Am I wrong? Even on my 1099k form, it shows my income from may -december at $0.
