CDRs And Overpayment Collection Suspended Among Other Things

     From a new Social Security Covid-19 website:

What workloads is SSA not doing during the COVID-19 pandemic?
Created: March 18, 2020

We have suspended the following workloads until further notice:
  • We will not start or complete any current medical continuing disability reviews. If you have a medical continuing disability review pending, please do not request medical information from your doctors at this time. We will follow up with you for any medical evidence once the COVID-19 public health emergency subsides.
  • Where possible, we are suspending our processing and collection of overpayments.
  • We are not conducting organization or individual representative payee accountings.
  • We will not be able to process a third party requests for information, except from appointed representatives and representative payees
  • We will not process any Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests.
     What if Social Security is already withholding part of a claimant's benefits because of an overpayment? Are they suspending that?
