  Why did SSA send a wage garnishment to my employer?
  Question
  Why did SSA send a wage garnishment to my employer?  
  Answer
 

We ordered your employer to garnish your wages to recover your overpayment either because you did not make arrangements with us to pay us back directly or because you were delinquent in making the payments that you had agreed to.  

Also, see our Answers on Wage Garnishment.
