Regular procedures for determining and posting an overpayment will apply.
The initial overpayment notice will continue to reflect 100 percent withholding until
appropriate systems changes are made to automatically apply the 10 percent withholding
when the overpayment is first established.
The Recovery of Overpayments, Accounting, and Reporting (ROAR) system will automatically
withhold 10 percent of the MBP for concurrently entitled beneficiaries only when full
withholding is scheduled. If a partial rate of withholding is already annotated to
ROAR, ROAR will accept without verifying title XVI involvement.
If ROAR processes the action, the following language is added to the ROAR notice to
explain the revised withholding rate:
-
“Because you receive SSI benefits, we will collect your overpayment by withholding
only 10 percent of your Social Security payment each month until the overpayment
is repaid.”
