  Does SSA consider a person's financial situation in repayment of amounts owed?
  Question
  Does the Social Security Administration take into consideration a person's financial situation in regards to making repayment for amount owed?
  Answer
 

Yes. An overpaid individual has the right to request a reconsideration of an overpayment decision within 60 days from the date of the notice he or she receives. Also, at any point in time that an individual's financial situation changes, the Social Security Administration can adjust the recovery amount accordingly. Under certain conditions, a waiver of the entire overpayment, or the balance due on an overpayment can be approved. A waiver can be requested at any time. 

The form to request a waiver is form SSA-632.

 SSA offers forms in Portable Document Format (PDF). PDF files are printer independent using any printer. To read and print a PDF publication, you must have the Adobe Reader software  installed on your PC.
