Prisoners cannot receive SSI/SSDI benefits while incarcerated. However, they can receive benefits after release.

Sorry to hear that. You may need to get a lawyer involved. And/or get your Congressperson to try to get things moving at SSA.

i had an overpayment resulting from an outstanding warrant. Although benefits were re-started and I received back payments, They never paid the money they took from me because of the overpayment. I cannot seem to get results and I have been trying for over 1 year

You already know it's a 2nd Circuit case. So, at best, it applies only in Connecticut, Vermont and New York. It may be used for it's "persuasive" value in other circuits, but it is not precedent -- other circuits are not required to follow it.

Yeah, I was wondering about your local views on the subject--the NSCLC was one of the litigants, (so their aspect of things may be a little cocked). It may actually effect my problem with the SSA.

Tomasz--please discuss the Clark ruling. Yes, I know it has been kicked back to a lower court by the Court of Appeals, but the Appeals Court did rule that a VOP "is not a criminal matter"--just an administrative one. The NSCLC site has a great discussion.

If you read below of the description of the problems I had, along with the problems of getting the employees at SSA simply to do their job--my attorney thinks that (the SSA employees failing to do their job properly) is the reason that the SSA has withdrawn its complaints against me. The employee problems got so bad that the Regional office in Kansas City took over the case--and after they did, my "fleeing felon" problems seemed to disappear. In fact, my attorney has my case penciled in for March 10th--if the SSA doesn't get something done by then to reimburse me for the monies I wasn't paid--He will call the local manager and start getting serious with her. Maybe go back to the Regional office--they seem to listen. F.Y.I., during the 25 years that the fleeing felon complaint was on the books--I was employed by several railroads, got my drivers license on the due date, got my passport renew at the due date, was even hired by a Air Cargo company which entailed a background investigation by (of all agencies), the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

Message to tippy1965: Florida will NOT extradite for anything unless it is a murder charge or child molestion case. If you can--get Florida to write a letter saying that they will not extradite. Along with a letter from your doctor saying that it would be harmful to your health to travel. And get an attorney--one who specializes in SSA law--there are non-profit law firms in Maine

According to my attorney--I won. Now we will wait to see if the SSA will
make the back payments for the month that I didn't receive.

Received a letter from SSA in November saying "We have input the warrant dismiisal. This action willremove the suspension from your record, thus, the overpayment that resulted from the suspended months from 2007-2009 will be eliminated."

Why does it take so long for the Bureau of Prisons to notify government agencies that an outstanding warrant exists on a beneficiary. Notification takes a FEW years and by the time the beneficiary is notified, they are indebted to the government for thousands and thousands of dollars? If the "Bureau" can do their notifications on a more timely basis, someone else should have to eat the overpayment, not the recipient of the benefit. Furthermore, how come every state has their own interpretation of the law.

Bob,

Social Security is Denying you Procedural Due Process. Look it up, then tell your lawyer to sue Social Security for it. I am trying to get a CLASS ACTION SUIT for the same thing. If I am successful, you would be part of this suit.

I too have been hit with an "overpayment" claim by the SSA. They claim that I had a warrant for my arrest out of Fla. since 1984, but they have nothing to support that claim. I contacted Fla. and they said that they didn't want me. AND they sent a letter to the Denver field office saying that. (It has since been learned by me that that letter was destroyed by a workerin the Denver office)! I have had to appeal everything that they have sent me---with copies stamped received by them. I have obtained the services of an attorney. Now my attorney finds out that they haven't processed one item of my appeals, nor even filed them on the SSA computer system. The attorney called the regional office in Kansas City---the K.C. office has taken over the case, and it is a mess!
Any comments on this? Have you heard of anything like this? Any action against SSA on my part?
