Social security help Thoughts and more
The first thing you can do is request a reconsideration from Social Security. You will do this when you believe that Social Security has made a mistake in considering you an overpayment. When requesting a reconsideration, you are essentially asking the SSA to give your file another look. You may be required to meet with an SSA representative, in which case it is a good idea to bring a social security lawyer or advocate with you. If you agree with Social Security that your overpayment status is legitimate, you can ask for a waiver.
