Overpayment of Benefits

What
is the name of your state? Puerto Rico


The benefit was from LTD. I don't owe anything to SS. It is my ex-employer who
is claiming they overpaid me by $8,000, but they are letting me know this after 11 years !

At the time of the disability, I received a lump sum from SS, which my employer now says caused me to be overpaid by my Long Term Disability Insurance. Someone apparently dropped the ball and I am just finding this out now (after I retired from them 4years ago!).

To top it all off, the LTD plan administrator says that had it not been for the overpayment, they would owe me $1,140.00 but the employer says they want that money as part of repayment of the overpayment.....GO FIGURE!

I am totally confused, since I was not made aware of either one of the above situations until now.....please help me!

Does the letter state calculations of how they arrived at the overpayment figure and an explanation of exactly what happened? If not you need to request that.

If not, then wait to see if they will sue regarding this and if I were you I would consult an attorney to find out whether a statute of limitations applies on this. Can you afford to repay the money if they win a judgement against you?
