My little discussion forum on social security attorney
Q: What should I do when Social Security says I've received overpayment? A: Any social security lawyer will tell you that, if the Social Security Administration determines that they have paid you more than they should, they will probably send you a Notice of Overpayment. Overpayment happens for many reasons, like letting a change in your lifestyle/earnings go unreported. It can also happen when Social Security does not process your change in status quickly enough, and delays the change in your monthly check. While you may want to talk to your social security lawyer about your best choice, there are generally three options when you are overpaid. One of these is requesting a reconsideration when you think the SSA has made a mistake.
