Effective April 25, 2025, the default withholding amount from ongoing Title II (Social Security Disability and derivative) benefits to recoup overpayments will be 50% of the monthly benefit. The 50% rate will begin unless the individual requests a lower rate of repayment, reconsideration, or waiver of the overpayment within 90 days.
Prior overpayments will continue to have the 10% withholding rate. The 50% percent withholding rate will apply to individuals who incur a new overpayment and have a prior outstanding overpayment.
The overpayment recovery rate for Title XVI cases (Supplemental Security Income) will remain at 10%. (EM 25029, April 25, 2025.)
