Report To The Congress

OF THE UNITED STATES



Social Security Administration

Should Improve Its Recovery Of

Overpayments Made To Retirement,

Survivors, And Disability Insurance

Beneficiaries

The Social Security Administration has made, ,-
and will continue to make, overpayments to
individuals who receive retirement, survivors,
and disability insurance benefits. Most over-
payments are made to beneficiaries who earn
more than the allowable limit set by law and
who--despite the overpayment--continue to
be eligible for benefits. Thus, the overpaid
amounts are recoverable through adjustment
against continuing benefits.

Conversely, individuals who receive an over-
payment and are subsequently removed from
benefit status before repayment occurs re-
present a ver difficult reco for
SSA.  hi e this report oes not address
cau es of overpayments, it does discuss the
problems that SSA must overcome to make
sure that effective recovery action will be
taken when an overpayment is made.
