On April 10, 2008, we determined that Glenn Brown is overpaid $1,260 based on their 2007 annual report of earnings. We suspended their benefits from January 2008 through February 2008 because of their 2008 work and estimated earnings. Their estimate for 2008 required no change in the 2008 suspension.

When Mr. Brown received their overpayment notice in April 2008, they did not protest the overpayment or its recovery. Beginning June 2008, we withheld their benefits to recover the overpayment. In July 2008, Mr. Brown revised their estimate of 2008 earnings. We determine that they are due $620 for January 2008 through February 2008 based on the revised estimate.

The additional benefits are due for months before the ending month of the retroactive period, which is April 2008, the month we made the overpayment determination and sent the notice. We use the additional money to recalculate Mr. Brown's overpayment and they are now overpaid $640 ($1,260 minus $620 equals $640). We send Mr. Brown a notice explaining the action(s) we took and their new overpayment amount that we continue to withhold from their benefits.

We last paid Bert Abdi disability benefits August 2008. On November 3, 2008, we determined and notified Mr. Abdi that they are overpaid $11,388 based on an April 2005 cessation of their disability benefits. We no longer considered Mr. Abdi disabled and we should have terminated their benefits effective April 2005.

On November 15, 2008, Mr. Abdi files an application for retirement benefits and requests waiver for their overpayment. Before we make the waiver determination, we determine that Mr. Abdi is entitled to a retirement benefit of $381 effective June 2008. Mr. Abdi is due $1,905 in retirement benefits for June 2008 through October 2008, the ending month of the retroactive period (i.e., October 2008, the month before we made the overpayment determination and sent the notice). We use the additional money to recalculate Mr. Abdi’s overpayment. their adjusted overpayment amount is $9,483 ($11,388 minus $1,905 equals $9,483). This is the amount we consider when we make our waiver determination.

Bella Bloom did not receive benefits for March 2009 through June 2009 because they did not have a child in care. We begin paying their benefits in July 2009.

On February 16, 2010, we notified Mrs. Bloom that they are overpaid $426 because they did not have a child-in-care from September 2009 through November 2009. They appeal the determination. On reconsideration, we establish child-in-care not only for December 2009, but also for June 2009. Mrs. Bloom is now due payments totaling $284 for June 2009 and December 2009 ($142 per month) which we use to adjust their overpayment amount to $142 ($426 minus $284 equals $142).

On December 13, 2009, we notified Ed Michaels that they are overpaid $1,890 in disabled child's benefits because we should have terminated their benefits due to their June 2009 marriage. In light of Mr. Michaels’ waiver request, we waived recovery of $630 of their $1,890 overpayment. Their overpayment balance is now $1,260.

On June 20, 2010, an Automatic Earnings Reappraisal Operation (AERO) adjustment results in a $2 increase per month effective January 2009. We credit the additional $10 due Mr. Michaels for January 2009 through May 2009 against the overpayment totaling $1,890. We notify Mr. Michaels about the recomputation of their original overpayment, which is now $1,880. We credit the additional $10 against the remaining balance of $1,260 that we did not waive. Mr. Michaels’ overpayment balance is now $1,250. The $630 that we waived earlier remains unchanged.
