The SSA deals with overpayment is several different ways. Please find more information in the link to the SSA following. https://www.ssa.gov/ssi/text-overpay-ussi.htm
Here are the various ways they state to deal with overpayments:
"WHAT WILL WE DO IF THERE IS AN OVERPAYMENT?
We will send you a notice explaining the overpayment and asking for a full refund within 30 days. If you are currently getting payments and you do not make a full refund, the notice will:
- propose to withhold the overpayment at the rate of the lesser of 10 percent or the entire monthly payment;
- state the month the proposed withholding will start;
- fully explain your appeal rights;
- explain how you can ask us to review and waive the overpayment, so you may not have to pay it back; and
- explain how you can appeal our decision."
