Would I Get Back Pay If Social Security Incorrectly Suspends My Benefits Due To An Overpayment?

If I'm suspended for over payment, and SSD says I should have never been suspended, willing get back pay?



Hi. Yes, if Social Security withholds benefits to recover an overpayment and later determines that there was no overpayment, they would refund any benefits due that were withheld.

Best, Jerry
