Some recipients think they've been asked to repay Social Security benefits because of the COVID-19 payments they received during the pandemic.
Some Social Security recipients reported being asked to pay money back on their benefits because they had allegedly already received COVID-19 stimulus checks.Dave Greune, a Washington-based Social Security recipient, told Seattle-based television station Kiro 7 that the Social Security Administration asked his disabled daughter Julia to repay more than $7,000 in benefits.
The Greunes' situation is unlikely to be unique. The SSA has recently come under fire after a report revealed it had asked for $20 billion back in overpayments from beneficiaries, including some of the most vulnerable people in the country.The SSA regained $4.7 billion of overpayments during the 2022 fiscal year, but ended the year with $21.6 billion still outstanding, according to a report by the agency's inspector general.
