So my dad is on disability/retirement pension and they received a letter stating that the SSA overpaid them the last few years and that my parents owe them $20,000. Now I'm sure this is chump change to many here and doesn't sound like a whole lot, but with the amount of bills they have to pay they have no hope in paying these people back for quite some time. Possibly 3 years at the earliest... the SSA sent a letter stating if they don't pay back that money they'll either stop the benefits or deduct money from each check to pay back the owed $20k.
All this to say that I'm infuriated by how evil these people are. It's clearly not my parents fault and they even state in the letter that it's not their fault, but they still spring this shit on their lap. Their lawyer apparently told them that nothing can be done about it either.
I am sorry my friend said she doesn't know but won and got all the back money deserved. This person is bi polar, jabbed to the max, told her sister can't attend her sons wedding unless her family gets jabbed. I don't think she is bi-polar, just a crazy, brainwashed, still asleep liberal.
I think you should help them appeal. Request a waiver. https://www.socialsecurityintelligence.com/social-security-overpayment/
I don't know where you live but it may help if you can contact a good congressman.
^^^ this. I’ve dealt with SSA for years and if you claim it will cause a hardship to repay they can waive it and just correct the amount going forward. SSA is horrible about the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing
