If 60 minutes did not do that story, the Social Security Administration would have continued their brutal ways. 60 minutes, you have helped a lot of people struggling to live!

[@TerriAnnNiemeier-dy3no]

I lost Social Security for 2 years because of this Now What ?

[@chinookvalley]

No payback should be forced. If it happened to me, there is no way I could afford anything to be taken out of my monthly SS check. Poverty sucks, and it shouldn't be made worse by our government's incompetence.

[@WhateverIwannaupload]

no, they messed up. they forgot to tax you as a borrower instead of a potential lender. it should be factored in and the repayment should be taken from other parts of the bills they created to control your money

[@FLORIDIANMILLIONAIRE]

Well to make matters worse the government is giving away billions of tax payers money to foreign countries while Americans are hungry , jobless, have to pay hefty tips to huge mega corps like Starbucks , they are hungry did I mention that ? They can't even afford to eat food everyday and here we are sending billions to different countries

[@withouta315]

Thankyou 60 Minutes. Your reporting of injustice has saved thousands of Americans from total destitution.

[@streetsmartintelligent]

When is he going to do something about all the denied disability claims that weren't even looked at, just denied, because of the overwhelming caseloads they have per employees, which they can't seem to keep. Actually have heard this directly from an employee!! It shouldn't take years & years to receive an automatic denial, since this is the intent to begin with. With all the issues in the world & government, whose ever heard a president address this & actually follow thru AFTER there in office? NONE... IF IF one is truly disabled & HAS WORKED their ENTIRE LIFE, & PAID INTO SS, then this IS THEIR MONEY!!!! NOT the governments, I think they've spent everyone's hard earned money & don't have it readily available. But then they must, when they allocate billions of money for many other things. THIS IS A CRIME, to hold back, cut the money and or deny the people there own money they've paid in. WHY DONT 60 MINUTES DO A SEGMENT ON THIS ANOTHER MAJOR SEGMENT SHOULD ALSO BE THE VETERANS DENIALS OF BENEFITS AND ANOTHER STUDENT LOAN DEFRAUDING, schools that WERE charged in defrauding students yet students still have to pay for an education they didn't receive!??

[@mpvincent7]

Easier to request a waiver BUT actually easier to get one??? Please keep an eye on this slow-moving tragedy because they will most assuredly muck it up again!

[@cliftonwaldrep4238]

Holding back 10%!!! The IRS are the folks who calculate the amount of your social security they will pay you each month. They're the ones making the mistake, they should be fined and that fine should go to each senior citizen they miscalculated. Arithmetic isn't hard, but I guess for the IRS it is.... 👎

[@randomvicky939]

I was denied for SS . I can’t work due to a huge car crash and my case is legit . So frustrating!

[@filispirit]

It took me over 2 years to get my disability from SS. TRY A DIFFERENT DOCTOR.

[@streetsmartintelligent]

​@filispirit Still waiting myself, on the response try a different doctor, it doesn't matter ss will have you go see one of their doctors. It's still corrupt.... People are just to scared to say or do anything related to the government & the government knows this, this is why NOTHING WILL EVER CHANGE.

[@randomvicky939]

@@streetsmartintelligent Yup ! Absolutely

[@Steve-yo4ld]

You really need to hire an attorney who specializes in SS Disability! Most will work out payments once you start collecting!✌️

[@randomvicky939]

@@Steve-yo4ld I did . The lawyer I got was the most worthless lawyer on the planet

[@jessetruckparts359]

That is total bs. When gov takes loans from the ss big unatended purse rarely do they pay it back. And if they do its with our own money. We the people refuse to give more of our hard earned money. It gets taxed when we get paid it gets taxed at the bank. Then it gets taxed again when we spend it. And if have extra money saved for a rainy day it always gets taxed regardless

[@thisisme3238]

That's the problem...the GOVERNMENT SPENT OUR MONEY, and now looking for more from us.

[@Kitkatrey]

Thank you Anderson!!

[@dreadfuldonkey]

This just shows how incompetent and wasteful the government really is

[@thisisme3238]

It truly is a nightmare.

[@Greg-dl9lm]

1% is too much for some on SS

[@hectorraigosa7149]

They have their heads up their rears. I got one of those letters of over payments when in fact, i was awarded retro my SS judge. They have illiterate staff that can not look up a case when a person provides it.

[@suzi444]

That should be retroactive to a degree.

[@katieflennery7662]

What happens to the poor people already suffering from the past policy?

[@mrguy9150]

i cant wait for people on the internet to tell me how to feel about this tomorrow

[@TOPHITTA463]

Sick of social security

[@kathrynshaw192]

This has simply reminded me that there should be someone out there who specializes in getting full benefits for widows of deceased soldiers. Even with my husband's final final benefit check still in my hand, the government pretends not to know who he was.

[@streetsmartintelligent]

Same here Ms. Kathryn 😢

[@user-bj6rl5he1g]

This is an all over the world mistake, i am aware of two females who lives in the Uk that suffer greatly, anxiety from this blunder sending them letters that the very overpaid by the benefits governments systems, it's cause such one's great distress, when will they get it right and stopped causing low paid females such distress. All these females that suffered such deeply distress of a overpayment which is no fault of thier own , should be given back that monies, poor females have enough as it stand, some of them not even have the help of a male to provide a child or children maintenance. 💯

[@AndogaSpock]

Did they charge interest, is the main question? If yes, injustice. Otherwose fair. Fair to the other in the system.

[@pzak5927]

Im supporting all of them by having money being taken out of my paycheck every week and they got the nerve to complain

Sophia from the golden girls is in trouble

[@jessejones3038]

That’s funny because they just took 100 percent of mine away because of a over payment

[@lifestyles2482]

I'm considering suing social security administration, I'll be half of someone I love, they wanted marriage certificate during the pandemic when they were hospitalized, I couldn't get it, they wouldn't update Social Security to the spouse, then randomly without telling us a year and change later, they just updated it and gave it but meanwhile this person is out thousands of dollars because they forced her to do a marriage difficult that they reneged on later.

[@kevinhoward9593]

i was working and incurred a $17000 overpayment so they wont give me my benefits back but when they overpay people by accident its a different story. hmm.

[@tommylucero2931]

No they won't,they say they will but they won't people will still be threatened and have their checks taken because of their mistakes of over paying people

[@AlbertFraklin1970]

Is this the part of Social Insecurity or Super Social Security where by law those allowed on it can draw it but those who are not in it can only draw from the latter account.

[@pAiNkI1LaH]

Still no solution for people who they withhold benefits for NO REASAON GIVEN 10% of my income for close to 24 months is no picnic. Waiver is a joke. Again no solution for disabled people unable to drive to an office for an appointment because the computer says you were overpaid.

I thought Martin O’Malley was dead. I thought Bernie Sanders buried him, but I guess Martin tried to find some way to be relevant. Lol 😂

Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; Psalms 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. Acts 8:37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Corinthians 15:3-4 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

God loves you and takes care of you so that this message reaches you. God is the one who created this great universe and has complete control over it. And the greatest loss that a person loses in this life is that he lives while he does not know God who created him, knowing the Messenger of Muhammad, the last of the messengers, and the Islamic religion, the last of the heavenly religions. The great intelligence, before you believe in something or not, is to read it, study it, and understand it well, and then you have the choice to believe in it or not. I advise you on this now before you do not have time to do that.
