               Request for Waiver of Overpayment Recovery

When To Complete This Form

We will use your answers to decide if you have to pay the money back. If we decide you do not have to pay 
the money back, we call it a waiver. 

When Not To Complete This Form

      waiver by calling 1-800-772-1213 or your local field office. We may be able to process your request 
      quickly over the phone.

    • You think we made a mistake when we decided that you were overpaid, or if you disagree with the 
      amount of your overpayment. Instead, please complete the SSA-561, Request for Reconsideration.

      HA-501-U5, Request for Hearing by Administrative Law Judge.

Below is an authorization for the Social Security Administration to obtain your financial account information. 
We may need to access your financial records in order to determine if we can waive your overpayment.  
  
IMPORTANT: If the overpaid individual is a minor child, a parent or legal guardian must complete and sign 
the form on the child's behalf. If a court has assigned a legal guardian to an adult individual, the legal 
guardian must complete and sign the form. Adults who do not have a court appointed legal guardian must 
complete and sign the form, even if they have a representative payee. 

AUTHORIZATION FOR THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION TO OBTAIN ACCOUNT RECORDS 
FROM A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION AND REQUEST FOR RECORDS

Please review the following, make selection, and sign below: 
I understand:
  · I have the right to revoke this authorization at any time before any records are disclosed; 
  · The Social Security Administration may request all records about me from any financial institution; 
  · Any information obtained will be kept confidential; 
  · I have the right to obtain a copy of the record which the financial institution keeps concerning the 
     instances when it has disclosed records to a government authority unless the records were disclosed 
     because of a court order; 
  · This authorization is not required as a condition of doing business with any financial institution.  
  · The Social Security Administration will request records to determine the ability to repay an 
     overpayment in conjunction with a waiver determination; 
  · Failing to provide or revoking my authorization may result in the Social Security Administration 
     determining, on that basis, that adjustment or recovery of the overpayment will not deprive me of 
     funds to pay my bills for food, clothing, housing, medical care, or other necessary expenses; 
  · This authorization is in effect until the earliest of: 1) a final decision on whether adjustment or 
     recovery of my overpayment would deprive me of funds to pay my bills for food, clothing, housing, 
     medical care, or other necessary expenses; or 2) my revocation of this authorization in written 
     notification to the Social Security Administration. 

  I authorize any custodian of records at any financial institution to disclose to the Social Security 
  Administration any records about my financial business or that of the person named above whom I 
  legally represent or whose benefits I manage.

  I do not authorize any custodian of records at any financial institution to disclose to the Social 
  Security Administration any records about my financial business or that of the person named 
  above whom I legally represent or whose benefits I manage. I understand that if I do not give 
  permission to obtain financial records or if I cancel my permission, SSA may not approve my 
  waiver request.
