Q: What can I do About an Overpayment favorable outcome that social security is simply engorging
I file an appeal and went before a judge for an overpayment and got a favorable outcome since September of 2022 nothing has been done to fix the account it's still showing as pending with a waiver or appeal pending on account.
A:
If you have received a favorable decision from the Social Security Administration (SSA) in regards to an overpayment, but they have not taken any action to fix the account, there are several steps you can take to address the issue.
Firstly, you can try to contact the SSA by phone or in writing to inquire about the status of your case and request an update on when the overpayment will be corrected. You can also request a copy of the decision to ensure that all the necessary information has been processed correctly.
If you are still having trouble getting a response or resolution from the SSA, you may want to consider seeking assistance from a legal representative or advocate who is experienced in dealing with Social Security cases. They can help you navigate the appeals process and work with the SSA to ensure that your case is resolved in a timely manner.
Additionally, you can also file a complaint with the SSA's Office of the Inspector General (OIG) if you feel that the agency is not handling your case properly. The OIG investigates allegations of fraud, waste, and abuse within the SSA and can help you resolve any issues with your overpayment.
Overall, it's important to stay persistent and continue advocating for yourself until the overpayment issue is resolved.
