What it does
This bill would limit the amount that can be withheld from Social Security benefits to recover overpayments to no more than 10 percent of a monthly benefit, unless the individual requests a higher recovery rate. It applies specifically to overpayments that are not believed to be due to fraud or similar fault by the recipient. The change would amend Title II of the Social Security Act and take effect upon enactment for outstanding overpayments on or after that date.
