This class is for people who got a Notice of Overpayment from the Social Security Administration (SSA). A Notice of Overpayment is a letter that says you owe Social Security money. The notice may say Social Security is going to take some or all of your Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) check to repay what you owe.
If the Notice of Overpayment is about a Supplemental Security Income (SSI) overpayment, you should look at the SSI Overpayments class because the rules are different.
This class tells you what to do if you get SSDI and Social Security sent you a Notice of Overpayment and
- you don’t agree with something in the Notice of Overpayment, or
- you can’t afford to pay back the money.
It is very important that you do not ignore the notice. If you think there is a mistake, contact Social Security and ask for an appeal form right away.
