Social Security recipients have been hit with payback demands following overpayment - and now the government agency is facing questions over how billions of dollars were incorrectly paid out.
Numerous reports have told the stories of people, many of whom are vulnerable or suffer from a disability, who have been asked to pay back large sums due to the service accidentally giving them too much money.
Social Security payments are made for a variety of reasons. SSA benefits are paid based on your earnings record if you are aged 62 or older or if you are a person with a disability and have enough work credits. For many people who are unable to work or are retired, payments form the bulk of their income.
One woman in Ohio was mailed a bill in excess of $60,000 and ordered to pay by check or money order within 30 days, her caregiver told ABC News. Alex Hubbard, a young man who has autism, told Seattle news station KIRO-TV that he owes the agency over $11,000.
Newsweek was unable to confirm the current status of how much these individuals may owe to the Social Security Administration.
During the 2022 fiscal year, the SSA regained $4.7 billion of overpayments, while another $21.6 billion remained outstanding, according to a report by SSA's inspector general.

why can’t I ever ever get an overpayment?...an extra check?..a stimulus?....anything?.....
What’s that old saying? Most of my money I spent on women and alcohol. The rest I wasted.
And here I am still working at 75 years old because I can’t afford to live on my SS pittance.
Good one.
Most likely just smaller checks going forward, or no checks, until overpayment is paid off.
I iamgine the vast majority of overpayments were in the SSI (Supplemental Security Income) and disability programs.
What happened? Our ancestors failed to kill off the domestic commies when they had the opportunity.
“...inflation at ~9%...”
