What to Know
- Starting April 14th, Social Security direct deposit changes or new enrollments must be completed online or in person. Phone changes will no longer be accepted.
- Effective March 27, 2025, Social Security overpayments will be recouped by withholding 100% of monthly benefits, reversing the previous 10% cap under the Biden Administration.
- For those unable to afford full overpayment recovery, contact Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 or visit your local office to request a reduced payment plan. You also have the right to appeal the overpayment decision or amount.
- HHS will eliminate the Administration for Community Living, a vital resource that helps older adults and people with disabilities remain in their communities by coordinating essential care and programs.
Note that these changes to Social Security do not apply to Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
