What is the name of your state?FL
My boyfriend's mother has custody of his daughter since his wife's death, 9 years ago. He was incarcerated for nine months and his mother continued to collect the benefits from his deceased wife, to care for his daughter. She did not tell SS he was in jail (I guess you are not entitled to benefits while incarcerated). Now SS says there was an overpayment of $4,900.00 and they are requesting he pay it. Who's liable for the amount?
