 Effective Advocacy in SSA Overpayment Cases

Numerous rules govern entitlement to ongoing SSI and SSD benefits, and SSA actively pursues repayment on any benefits it deems overpaid.  This training covers the possible responses to overpayment issues.  First, we cover the law on overpayments.  Next, we cover the various options for challenging overpayment findings.  Finally, we discuss best practices for district office advocacy and review the various forms that must be completed in these cases.
