The Social Security disability application and benefits award process is a complicated, time-consuming process that is difficult to navigate and it usually takes several years of frustrating appeals before Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Disability Insurance Benefits are awarded to the applicant. However, once benefits are awarded, beneficiaries can encounter more frustration and confusion if SSA alleges an overpayment of benefits and suspends or terminates the disability payment.
Overpayments occur when SSA alleges that a person has received more benefits than allowed. These overpayments can range from a few hundred to tens of thousands of dollars. The emotional and financial devastation for an individual or family living at or below the poverty line and facing recoupment of an overpayment can be overwhelming. Overpayments exacerbate income insecurity, impact the local economy, and further deplete community assets.
This live webinar will equip you to represent a client with a Social Security overpayment and include
Defining a Social Security overpayment
Liability for overpayments
Strategies for challenging overpayments
Appealing Social Security overpayment
PLEASE NOTE: Attorney participants are urged to take an SSI/SSDI overpayment case within three months of the training.
