Emergency Message On Change In Default Rate For Collecting Overpayments

     The Social Security Administration has issued Emergency Message EM-24011 SEN on the recent decision by the Commissioner to change the default rate of benefit withholding where there's been an alleged overpayment. It's labeled as "SEN" because they consider it sensitive. It's labeled at the top as "NOT TO BE SHARED WITH THE PUBLIC" but they are sharing it after redacting significant portions of the message. I don't get a feel for what's in the redacted part.

The redacted portion will likely contain specific systems input procedures and processes.

These types of things are useful to employees but would not be appropriate to release to the public.

The redactions are probably related to exclusions in the withholding related to those initiated or arrived at through settlements or fraud related reasons. Typical redactions in these public releases really.
