Social Security Overpayment Appeal & Waiver Organizer

Reconstruct the amount, keep every notice and report in one chronology, compare the three common response paths, and build a clean evidence packet before you contact SSA.

Not legal advice: This tool does not tell you which request SSA will grant. SSA distinguishes reconsideration when you dispute the overpayment or amount, waiver when recovery should be excused, and a change in repayment rate when the debt is accepted but the proposed collection rate is unaffordable.

Why month-by-month reconstruction matters

An overpayment notice can cover many months while the underlying facts changed more than once. Recording what SSA says was paid, what you believe should have been payable, and the evidence for each month creates a much clearer disagreement record than one undifferentiated total.

Verify official deadlines

SSA generally describes reconsideration as a 60-day appeal from receipt of the notice. This tool counts from the receipt date you enter; if that date is uncertain, verify the deadline shown on your notice or with SSA. A waiver can generally be requested at any time, but collection timing and continuation of payments can depend on when a request is filed.
