When two or more overpayments are being recovered at the same time, assume the overpayment
recovery amount is first withheld to repay any overpayments not subject to the exception
in SI 00830.110B.2. Apply this assumption regardless of the chronological order in which the overpayments
occurred.
For example, an individual receiving title II was overpaid in 1999 and 2000. For purposes
of collecting the overpayment, recovery is allocated in chronological order, i.e.,
the 1999 overpayment is satisfied first and then collection begins for the 2000 overpayment.
However, for the purposes of this policy, if the exception in SI 00830.110B.2. applies only to the 1999 overpayment, assume the 2000 overpayment is satisfied first.
Apply the exception to the 1999 overpayment but only after the 2000 overpayment collection
has been satisfied.
