Overpayment of Social Security Benefits
Georgia...
I received a letter from SS stating they needed to discuss something with me. It has to do with an overpayment, or so I am assuming.
Prior to going back to work, I notified SS. I told them where I was working. I was asked if they could keep in contact with my employer regarding my status of employment. I gave them permission to do so. After nine months, I was still receiving benefits, and did contact SS to tell them I was past the nine month trial period. The benefits continued, even with phone calls.
I have called SS regarding the letter that was sent to me, and found, they had my old address and a bad zip code. How I received the letter I did, I don't know because even the address on the letter was wrong...wasn't even my old address (street name and number were correct but the apartment number was incorrect). I asked that someone please call me and I have yet to hear from anyone. I not only gave them my home number, but also my cell number.
I can't afford to pay back. They had permission to contact my employer at any time as I had been asked if they could and I said yes. I contacted them after the nine month trial period yet they still continued to pay.
Please, any help or information as to what I can do is greatly appreciated.
Social Security Overpayment
You don't know what the contact is about, although you apparently have cause to believe you received benefits to which you weren't entitled. Unfortunately, until you figure out what exactly the inquiry is about, absent a very lucky guess it is impossible to formulate a meaningful response.
