If I'm Repaying A Social Security Overpayment Can SSA Take My Tax Refund?

I have a overpayment im paying for with ssa if im makin payments every month can ssa take my tax refund



Hi,

No, Social Security won't offset your tax refund to recover an overpayment if you have an approved repayment plan and you are making the agreed upon payments on timely basis.

Best, Jerry
