In the latest action, employees were instructed to sign a 4-pg letter ordering them to return all #USIP property while agreeing to forgo all future claims against the institute. It ordered them not to disclose any terms of the agreement in exchange for 1 month of #HealthInsurance & a monthly stipend paid for an unspecified period. Those who refuse to sign, the letter said, will lose all #benefits as of Monday.

Now, for any #SocialSecurity overpayments that occur after March 27, 2025, the recipient's future #benefits will be withheld until the overpayment is reimbursed.
For those beneficiaries currently reimbursing an overpayment, the withholding rate will not change, the agency said.
Replied to Nonilex
An overpayment can happen when a beneficiary fails to update a change in income, for instance. Or the #SSA can incorrectly calculate benefits.
In an Aug 2024 report, the SSA's IG estimated the agency made nearly $72B in improper payments – mainly overpayments – during fiscal yrs 2015-2022. That accounted for <1% of all benefits paid during that period, but as of Sept 2023, the agency had $23B in uncollected overpayments….
#SocialSecurity is reinstating its controversial plan to withhold 100% of people's #benefits if the agency has *overpaid* them.
The change reverses a policy that limited withholding to 10%.
Starting Thurs, March 27, the #SSA will reverse its policy involving overpayments to recipients. Sometimes Social Security, which pays benefits to ~70M people monthly, totaling about $1.6T in 2025, pays a beneficiary more money than they should have gotten.
