Information from employers will be shared with the Social Security agency under a new proposal.
The Social Security Administration is proposing a major change to reduce the amount of incorrect payments made to beneficiaries.The SSA has requested that payroll data from employers be exchanged with the government department to reduce the reliance on self reporting from those who can access SSA payment programs such as Social Security Disability Insurance benefits and Supplemental Security Income payments.
The agency also acknowledges that despite it being law for the agency to reclaim extra money paid out, it can 'create financial difficulties for beneficiaries.'As the change is currently only a proposal, those who claim SSDI and SSI will not see any changes to how they report their income and circumstances to the government agency just yet. Public consultation over the changes is open until April 15.
