Under the leadership of a
noted racial equity activist the Social Security Administration (SSA) has
mistakenly overpaid beneficiaries tens of billions of dollars, including a
65% spike in overpayments in one year. In 2023 the agency with a stated
mission of ensuring equity and accessibility by addressing systemic
barriers to participation and a commitment to providing services to
underserved communities made a whopping $23 billion in overpayments,
according to its latest Agency Financial Report. The figure is a
marked increase over the already stunning $11.1 billion in overpayments
that SSA erroneously made in 2022.
