If adjustment is not possible based on 1. and 2. above and the overpaid individual
does not refund the overpayment, propose
to withhold 10% of the monthly benefit amount that is payable on the same earnings
record to another individual living in the same household as the overpaid individual
at the time of the overpayment. If there is more than one individual in the same household,
propose adjustment as follows:
-
-
•
Spouse, including divorced spouse;
-
•
Surviving spouse, including divorced or remarried surviving spouse;
-
-
Propose adjustment against the lowest beneficiary identification code (BIC) code first and
then in ascending order (e.g., C1, C2, C3, etc.).
