Bill overview
This bill changes how the Social Security Administration (SSA) can recover overpaid benefits. Currently, the SSA could withhold a significant portion of a monthly benefit for overpayments. This bill limits the amount that can be withheld to a maximum of 10 percent of the monthly benefit, unless the overpayment was due to fraud. The changes would take effect immediately upon the bill’s passage.
