Three-Year Limit on Government Recovery of Social Security Overpayments.

Q: What are the main provisions?

Key points include: The SSA cannot recover benefit overpayments if the error occurred more than three years before the finding. This protection applies only when the overpayment resulted from an error made by the SSA itself. Recipients who committed fraud or similar fault regarding their benefits are excluded from this three-year limitation.

This bill establishes a three-year time limit for the government to recover overpayments of Social Security (Title II) and SSI (Title XVI) benefits, provided the error was made by the Social Security Administration (SSA). This change protects recipients from unexpected financial demands years after an administrative mistake occurred. The limit does not apply if the recipient committed fraud.
