Free Webinar: Update on Social Security Overpayment Policies

Free Webinar: Update on Social Security Overpayment Policies

When: Thursday, January 9, 2025
11:00am–12:15pm P.T./2:00-3:15pm E.T.

An overpayment of Social Security (Title II) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI, or Title XVI) benefits occurs whenever an individual receives more money for a month than the amount that should have been paid by the Social Security Administration (SSA). Those who receiving a notice from SSA that they have been overpaid are often alarmed and confused, and have a lot of concerns about how repayment will affect their ability to pay for their ordinary living expenses.

In 2024, SSA made major changes to its policies on overpayments. This training will review the recent changes SSA has made to various overpayment policies, with a particular focus on the waiver application process. 

This webinar will cover: 

• An overview of overpayments at the Social Security Administration
• Changes to overpayment policies SSA made in 2024
• Updates to the waiver application process 

Presenters: 

• Kate Lang, Director, Federal Income Security, Justice in Aging
• John S. Whitelaw, Advocacy Director, Community Legal Aid Society, Inc. (Delaware)

The webinar will take place on Thursday, January 9, 2025 at 11:00am P.T./2:00pm E.T. and will run for 75 minutes.
