Social Security Cuts Benefit Clawback From 100% to 50% — But Experts Warn It’s Still ‘Devastating’

The Social Security Administration (SSA) has quietly reduced its controversial benefit clawback rate from 100% to 50% for some recipients who were allegedly overpaid. While this marks a small step toward fairness, advocates warn it’s not enough—especially for elderly or disabled Americans facing unexpected repayment demands.

For many, the remaining clawbacks could still lead to evictions, food insecurity, and financial collapse.
