To recover an overpayment, we withhold the following payments from the overpaid individual, representative payee, or any other individual currently receiving benefits on the same earnings record on which the overpayment occurred (contingent liability), as applicable:

• •

  Ten percent of (10%)any current and future monthly benefit payment(s);

• •

  Any underpayment (see GN 02301.001A);

• •

  Any lump-sum death payment (LSDP);

• •

  Any misused funds (from the representative payee) that we reissue to an overpaid individual; or

• •

  Any other Social Security administered program payment(s) (i.e. cross program recovery).

When we have established an overpayment on an individual’s record, and the 90-day due process recovery period has elapsed without a due process request from the individual, the automated system will begin withholding 10% of the monthly benefit payment until we have fully recovered the overpayment (see SM 00610.715C). The automated system will withhold any payment (as applicable) listed in GN 02210.001A from the overpaid individual, the liable representative payee, or a contingently liable individual as applicable.
