I hear of so many who are faced with overpayment issues. It absolutely sucks. However, I do believe that anyone receiving benefits really has to follow-up with SS when they start working. "Assuming" a phone call was received is just not good enough. A friend of mine started a new job recently and called SS to have his benefits stopped. Within a week or so he got a letter stating they received his call and were giving him 2 more months (which is apparently the policy now) of benefits. He showed me the letter as I was "harping" on him to make sure he did this. I hope this information helps anyone trying to get off SS now. I had it for about a year, about 15 years ago or so, and I called immediately to have mine stopped when I started working after college. It is truly your responsibility to follow-up with SS and make NO assumptions.
