The National Center on Law & Elder Rights is hosting a free webinar entitled Update on Social Security Overpayment Policies on Thursday, January 9, 2025 from 2:00 PM-3:15 PM Eastern.

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)

Capacity for this session is limited to 3,000 participants. Please be sure to log onto the webinar a few minutes early in order to secure your place for the live presentation on Zoom.
