If the amount of the unresolved overpayment or the outstanding overpayment balance
is more than $5,000.00, we determine whether an estate exists.
If an estate exists, we pursue recovery from the estate. We also may pursue recovery
from a distributee of the estate.
A distributee of an estate is liable for repayment of the overpayment if he or she
has in his or her possession proceeds of the estate or property attributable to such
proceeds.
