Program Summary

In 2024 SSA made several changes to the waiver of overpayment process and other key changes to make it easier to pay back a correct overpayment. These POMS changes are significant and will allow more people to be able to obtain waivers of social security overpayments. Some of these key changes include shifting the burden of proving an overpayment to SSA and establishing 20 situations when SSA can presume that the beneficiary is not at fault for creating the overpayment. This session will use hypotheticals to help explain the new concepts.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • 2024 SSA overpayment and waiver process changes
  • Shifting burden of proof and fault presumptions in overpayment cases
  • Application of new POMS rules through hypotheticals

This course is co-sponsored with myLawCLE.
