$11 Billion in Excess Disability Payments Found by GAO
31st October 2015
The Social Security Administration requires that beneficiaries promptly report their work activity, including starting a new job or a change in wages.
But according to a GAO report issued on Thursday, the SSA staff has frequently bypassed established tracking procedures or provides limited oversight that have led to billions of dollars of unwarranted “overpayments” to beneficiaries.
