A:
If you have already had a favorable outcome from an administrative judge hearing and Social Security is still showing the overpayment on your account, you should first try to contact the Social Security Administration (SSA) to see if they can rectify the situation. You can contact the SSA by phone or by visiting a local Social Security office in person.
If you have already tried to contact the SSA and they have not resolved the issue, you may want to consider seeking legal assistance. An attorney who specializes in Social Security law can help you navigate the appeals process and may be able to help you obtain the benefits you are entitled to.
You can also file a complaint with the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) if you believe that you have been discriminated against by the SSA. The OIG investigates allegations of fraud, waste, and abuse within the SSA, and they may be able to help you resolve your issue.
It is important to note that Social Security overpayments can have serious consequences, including the reduction or cessation of future benefits, so it is important to address the issue as soon as possible.
