The Anti-Targ Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 7 hours ago, Ariadne23 said: Question: Do people think all overpayment cases where the beneficiary is not in any way at fault should be forgiven? On an individually determined basis, like they are now, or as a rule? If as a rule, for veterans only, or all federal government beneficiaries? Should there be a statute of limitations on collecting overpayment? I think yes to the last question, not sure about the others. No. I think an overpayment should be forgiven when the person was told they were specifically entitled to an extra payment and they signed up to something at least partly because of that assurance. But if the over payment was an accounting error and no sort of agreement or assurance was given specifically in regard to the over payment then the money should be returned in a manner that takes account of the person's financial situation.
