Social Security beneficiaries who owe money to the Social Security Administration may see much lower default withholding rates from their monthly checks, thanks to new policies that are going into effect. As of March 25, the Social Security Administration no longer plans to collect 100% of a total monthly Social Security benefit payment to recoup the money beneficiaries owe due to overpayment of benefits. But there may be a short period where beneficiaries are still affected by the old policy, the Social Security Administration announced on Friday. If that happens, affected beneficiaries should call the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213 to lower their withholding rate, the agency said. Under the new leadership of Commissioner Martin O'Malley, the Social Security Administration is working to curb the burden to affected beneficiaries.

One Social Security disability applicant finally had a hearing scheduled for this month but did not live until the scheduled date, according to David Camp, interim CEO at the National Organization of Social Security Claimants' Representatives. While the patient sought help with 825 days left to live, Social Security wasted more than 500 days with its delays. From 2010 to 2022, claims for Social Security disability benefits declined by 37%, while claims for Supplemental Security Income, or SSI, fell by 49%, according to Camp. Eliminating that phase of the process could free disability determination services staff to work on initial disability claims and reduce backlog, she said. Increase funding for Social Security AdministrationCongressional Republicans have proposed a 30% federal budget cut, which would be "completely devastating" to the Social Security Administration, said Kerr-Davis.
