The government currently withholds Social Security benefits from people who received more money than they were entitled to, sometimes taking their entire monthly check until the overpayment is repaid. This proposal would limit those withholdings to no more than 10 percent of a person's monthly benefit, ensuring they keep at least 90 percent of their payment even while repaying what they owe. The change would affect Social Security recipients who have been overpaid and help them maintain basic income while paying back the government.
