Social Security to Reinstate Overpayment Recovery Rate
Reading Time: 2 MinutesLast Updated: April 18, 2025
The Social Security Administration (SSA) announced it will increase the default overpayment withholding rate for Social Security beneficiaries to 100 percent of a person’s monthly benefit. The Office of the Chief Actuary estimates this change will result in an increase in overpayment recoveries (i.e., a program savings) of about $7 billion in the next decade.
“We have the significant responsibility to be good stewards of the trust funds for the American people,” said Lee Dudek, Acting Commissioner of Social Security. “It is our duty to revise the overpayment repayment policy back to full withholding, as it was during the Obama administration and first Trump administration, to properly safeguard taxpayer funds.”
The agency strives to pay the right person the right amount at the right time, and issues correct payments to most beneficiaries. When an overpayment does occur, the agency is required by law to seek repayment.
As of March 27, the agency will begin mailing notices about the new 100 percent withholding rate, rather than the recent adjustment of just 10 percent. The withholding rate change applies to new overpayments related to Social Security benefits. The withholding rate for current beneficiaries with an overpayment before March 27 will not change and no action is required. The withholding rate for Supplemental Security Income overpayments remains 10 percent.
People who are overpaid after March 27 will automatically be placed in full recovery at a rate of 100 percent of the Social Security payment. If someone cannot afford full recovery of their overpayment, they can contact Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 or their local office to request a lower rate of recovery.
Additionally, people have the right to appeal the overpayment decision or the amount. They can ask Social Security to waive collection of the overpayment, if they believe it was not their fault and can’t afford to pay it back. The agency does not pursue recoveries while an initial appeal or waiver is pending.

Wow, I am shocked at how many people are getting hacked through their crypto/blockchain transactions on here. A lot of these are obvious scammers, but for those with means who want to engage in transactions on a regular basis, particularly for SMB’s, check out https://veridise.com. These are leading researchers and developers in the blockchain security space. They can help secure smart contracts, NFT’s, wallets etc. This is probably more directed at businesses rather than individuals, but may apply well to those of higher net worth. A bit of piece of mind knowing your transactions are secure, at least from hackers.

This message is for anyone who has fallen victim to crypto investment scams. There are many false recommendations out there, so it’s important to be vigilant. I personally lost $50,000 in Bitcoin to an investment scam and was scammed again while trying to recover my funds. After months of frustration, I discovered Reclaimeasy@gmail.com, who was able to successfully help me recover my lost money.

It started like any other trade. I logged into what I believed was the official Coinbase Pro trading site. The interface looked flawless, the branding was identical and perfect, just close enough to fool anyone. Confident I was in the right place, I entered my credentials and began what I thought would be a normal trading session. But within minutes, my stomach dropped. Something was wrong. I’d been logged out, and when I tried to log back in, my credentials no longer worked.Then it hit me my account had been compromised. My life savings, $65,000 worth of cryptocurrency, was gone. In a flash, everything I’d worked so hard for had vanished. The panic was immediate and paralyzing. How could I have been so careless? I couldn’t think straight. My hands were shaking. I’d heard of crypto phishing scams before, but I never imagined I’d fall for one.Desperate for a solution, I began researching recovery services. That’s when I came across Recoveryeagles 009 . I was skeptical at first. There are so many scams out there, and I didn’t want to get burned twice. But with nothing left to lose, I decided to take the chance.The moment I contacted them, their team sprang into action like a digital SWAT team. The forensics experts at Recoveryeagles 009 traced my stolen crypto.

A few days later, I was shocked to see 95% of my stolen funds returned to my wallet.Their communication was constant, their approach was aggressive, and their expertise was unmatched. What began as a nightmare ended in relief and gratitude.If you’ve been scammed, act now.Every second counts. pCrypto thieves rely on your hesitation.Recoveryeagles 009 isn’t just a service.

Truly Life-Changing Help – Grateful Beyond Words
I rarely leave reviews, but this one is deeply deserved. I lost access to my crypto wallet and a significant amount of assets something I never thought I’d recover. I had been misled before, and reached out to a scam crypto recovery company, so I was hesitant to trust anyone again.
Then I found Infinite Digital Recovery, I reached them on their website (https://infinitedigital.online) and from the very first message, they were reassuring, honest, and professional. They didn’t overpromise they simply got to work. They kept me updated, explained every step, and truly cared about the outcome.
Thanks to the team, I have my wallet back, and my assets are safely in my control again. I still get emotional thinking about it.
