Example 1:Nina Pauling is dually-entitled to a retirement benefit of $260.30 and a surviving
spouse's benefit of $120.50. They currently receives $348.00 (MPA) after deduction
for the $31.90 SMI premium. Their spouse had been overpaid $2,000 before they died,
and an overpayment of $1,745 is still outstanding on this record. Since Nina's liability
is limited to the benefit they receive on the overpayment record (GN 02205.001), a withholding of 10% of their monthly surviving spouse's benefit is proposed in
the initial overpayment notice. Their reduced monthly benefit payment would be $368.
Example 2:Susan Venture, a current D beneficiary ineligible for payment because of their earnings,
has an outstanding debt of $1,500. Susan requested waiver of recovery and following
a personal conference decision to deny the waiver, they agreed to repay the debt in
$50 monthly installments. Billing was initiated in 8/87. Susan reports that they are
no longer working and D benefits are payable effective 1/89. Withhold 10% of the monthly
benefit due beginning 1/89 to recover the debt balance of $650.00 ($1,500 minus the
$850 8/87- 12/88 installment payments).
