Limits how far back the government can collect Social Security overpayments
This bill would set a 10-year limit on how far back the Social Security Administration (SSA) can collect money. This applies to people who received too much in Social Security or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits. If the SSA finds an overpayment, they could only ask for money back if it happened within the last decade. This would limit the SSA's ability to recover very old debts.
Today, the Social Security Administration can try to recover overpayments from Social Security and SSI benefits no matter how long ago they occurred. If this bill becomes law, the agency would only be able to recover overpayments that happened within the last 10 years. This 10-year period starts from when the agency discovers the error.
