Recent Changes and Challenges Facing Social Security Benefits
TL;DR
The SSA has increased the recovery rate for overpaid Social Security benefits from 10% to 50%, which may result in smaller checks for beneficiaries in August, especially for those who received notices and have overpayments. Beneficiaries can appeal or request a waiver to avoid or reduce the impact, and the policy change does not affect SSI benefits, which continue to be recovered at 10%.
