The Social Security Administration does not charge interest on a Supplemental Security Income overpayment.
When can you obtain your refund of over payment?
SSI underpayed me upon my SSI award. And withheld $3,581.70 alledging an past overpayment. However; upon request for waiver. On Aug. 22 2011. A decision was rendered at a formal ALJ hearing By the honorable ALJ Judge Weir III. Whom granted my request for a waiver of alledged overpayment. Documents confirm ALJ ruled that I wasn't at fault and waived the collection of an overpayment. However, a month has passed. And I have yet to receive any notice from SSA in regards to my refunded claim of $3,580.70 When can I recover my refund of alledged overpayment already collected.
Can you file bankruptcy against a social security overpayment debt?
It depends. Any overpayments or funds received by fraud from any state or federal agency cannot be discharged in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, or in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy filed on or after October 17, 2005. If the overpayment was not the result of fraud, it will be discharged. See the case of Lee v. Schweiker, 739 F.2d 870, 874 (3d Cir. 1984). SSA or any other government agency must prove, in the bankruptcy court, that the overpayment was the result of fraud. If fraud is proved, the overpayments will not be discharged in bankruptcy, and SSA can recover the overpayment from any future benefits. Please be advised that the SSA has the option of filing a civil suit if the amount is large enough, and can file federal criminal charges if the benefits were obtained fraudulently.

Can you declare bankruptcy for overpayment for unemployment?
You probably won't get any protection/relief for that. First, overpayments and amounts due to most governmental agencies are given a very high priority. Second, and more importantly, is that under almost any instance of you receiving unemployment that you weren't supposed to, it is because of your filing a claim that you weren't alllowed to, or hiding your current employment of such, all of which to collect you swore something different, and is actually able to be pursued as a fraud and crime. The agency is giving you a break allowing you to make it good. Illegal acts, like fraudulently getting UI, are not going to get any protection by the BK court.
