SSDI Overpayments: A Basic Overview

Thursday, April 22nd, 2021 at 2 PM

Please join the Employment Team of Disability Rights New Jersey as they host a two-part webinar intended to provide a basic overview of SSI and SSDI overpayments, how to respond appropriately, and how to prevent recoupment while appealing the issue.

If you are an individual who receives either Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or care for someone that does, you may have received notices from Social Security that you have received monthly benefits in excess of what the law permits. This is called an overpayment. Such overpayments may or may not be accurate or legitimate.

A social security recipient can appeal overpayments and this webinar will show you how. Each seminar is tailored to whether you receive either SSI or SSDI.

The rules differ regarding the appeal process of an overpayment and can be numerous and complex. This is an important webinar not to miss.

What You Will Learn:

• What is an overpayment?

• What are the basics of challenging an overpayment based on your SSDI benefit?

• What are the three ways to handle an overpayment situation (Reconsideration, Waiver and Negotiation)?

• Time limitations that apply to challenging SSDI overpayments.

• What are some strategies for dealing with one or all three ways to address your overpayment?

• What forms should I file, when should I file them, and how should I use them?
