Although it's required, anything under $1000 can be waived without any additional assistance. Also, if SSI is the only source of income, inability to repay is established because they get a "needs based benefit". That's not the case to Social Security Benefits.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-7490005575103007302015-08-04T09:28:18.736-04:002015-08-04T09:28:18.736-04:00Any overpayment is a cost to tax payers.

Since SSI waivers over $2000 require a supervisor's approval, if you have a supervisor who doesn't like to waive overpayments this will reduce waivers too. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
