house 03/14/2025 - 119th Congress
We're working to amend the Social Security Act through the Social Security Overpayment Relief Act, aiming to limit the recovery of overpayments under titles II and XVI to a ten-year period. This legislation seeks to ensure fairness for recipients by preventing the recovery of overpayments discovered more than a decade after the fact.

Why shield overpayments when we should be protecting taxpayer dollars?

Seems like a sensible compromise to not chase payments from the distant past.
