  1. This happened to my son they gave us pure nonsense on my he was over paid. My son doesn’t work he was a child at the time. So how does he have an over payment when he doesn’t have any income but Ssi.

  2. This happened to my son. They need to hire people who know what they’re doing.

  3. Isn't the SSA "required by law" not to make these egregious accounting errors. Where is the accountability? This has got to be one of the worst run and managed Federal agencies in the country. Utter incompetence at SSA. The government needs to bear the consequences of this.

  4. Postal workers do not pay into SS, they have a different system, so she knew she was NOT suppose to draw that!!!! TOO bad so sad

  5. Why ARE THEY NOT going after the ones who claim benefits who are scamming the system?!!!!!!!!!! SHE SHOULD OF KNOW BETTER, government employees are not suppose to receive SS they do not pay into it.

  6. Democrats destroying America

  7. Social security officials make mistakes too, unfortunately I see.

  8. "DEMAND1NG M0NEY BACK" for UKRAINE 🇺🇦

  9. Also my brothers was cut from $840 to $246. He can understand why. They weren’t able to clearly explaine. Now with this report he might be able to do something.

  10. And in the meantime the government spends $179 a day per migrant and keep coming.

  11. hello….let me introduce you to my lawyer

  12. This happened to my son after his stimulus checks! He was able to hold the money in his account for 1 year after the last stimulus checks. But they hit him with a 5k over payment bill because he still had his last $600 stimulus check in his bank account. Government is always the most disfunctional organization in the USA.

  13. Government needs that money back so they can send it to Ukraine with the rest of our tax dollars…

  14. IRS need to be charged per day for every day they don’t catch these mistakes. Y’all have one job… y’all can’t find out there’s a mistake two years later and ask for your money back.

    Can Ukraine give my money back?

  15. Gotta get more $ for f'ing Ukraine

  16. I remember one of these stories a long time ago. The woman worked making like $500 a week and social security paid her $1,500 per week. And she decided that how much they were paying her was reasonable and didn't think she owed anything back to them.

  17. Someone has to pay for all the migrants streaming in getting free housing and benefits. Hard working citizens are being penalized and being ignored. Seemingly no one to help these people, but lots of organizations to help freeloading migrants. Very unjust. Another example of corruption.

  18. It's like paying for your meal at a restaurant and then they ask for your food back…

  19. Oh the government is sooo stupid. Over payments and they are requesting it back?! They are not going to see a dime.

  20. You have to keep track of what the government sends you. That way you can show they are incorrect.

  21. Americas going broke or what 😮🇺🇸

  22. Omg!!! That's sick. Tell the truth the government needs a bail out for these migrants.

  23. The Government should eat their loss for their mistakes that includes SSA

  24. I don't understand, how were they not aware they were receiving more money? It's not as if you are used to getting $900 a month and suddenly you're getting $2000 but that doesn't raise a red flag?

  25. Uncle sam
    Needs the money so they can give it to Ukraine!

  26. yeah right, like they ever actually pay them properly

  27. No such thing as a free meal

  28. These people weren't complaining when they were receiving the checks! ! ! Now, they're crying because they have to pay it back?
    Effff them! I don't care if they end up on the street!

  29. This happened to my mom. She verified MULTIPLE times that the amount had been correct, and they garnished over a year. It almost happened to me but I revealed the “overpayment” that wasn’t actually one was due to a bank error that put my mom’s assets as my own.

  30. Social Security is a private account
    Government employees do not contribute to Social Security
    Congress are administrators not the government
    Taxation on Social Security is double taxation and their calculations are theif of our personal property
    A certified accountant will verify all facts not a judge
    With Congress national debt that will cost every government employee their job due to terms of employment not laws
    All is enough to demand Congress to get out of Social security and government employees will have to deal with Congress its not the American public business

  31. But the politicians can steal it and its ok….the government scam never ends…

  32. Biden sends them to Ukraine and feed Border crossers and feed border crossers 😂 Great job, Democrat fans

  33. I heard about the letters awhile back.
