The purpose of this legislative proposal is to amend the Social Security Act to provide relief to individuals who have received overpayments from the government. Specifically, it seeks to limit the government's ability to recover these overpayments to a ten-year period. This means that if someone has been overpaid, the government cannot demand repayment for any overpayment that occurred more than ten years before the government discovers the mistake. The key provisions of this proposal include two main changes to existing law.
