Legal Question in Social Security Law in Massachusetts
SSA overpayment
I've recently recieved a letter of
overpayment dating back to 2002. I
was given 10 days to respond to a
Baltimore, MD social security office but
given no #. After calling my local SSA
in lynn I was told my checks are to
stop and not to cash July's check
which has been processed already. I
have been working part time to
supplement my income and never
recieved any notification that I was
making around 72.00 a month too
much and they now want the last 5
years of the entire ammount paid to
me repaid! This runs into thousands of
dollars. They were given my pay stubs
when I started work and I've filled out
all forms sent to me. I am 100%
disabled and this will not change, yet
they say I'm no longer entitled to a
check.They do not want me working,
do not intend to send my SSI checks,
and expect to be repaid. Please let me
know what to do. Thank You for any
help or direction you may be able to
assist me with.

Re: SSA overpayment
You should immediately seek an appeal to at least delay the process. However, the system is fairly firm about work while disabled, and the regulations are fairly clear. You have an uphill battle to win an appeal, as under the regulations you are supposed to know (and watch) how much you can make.
