Social Security says I owe an overpayment from 20 years ago.?

I received ss benifits 20 yrs ago when my dad was on it. well he is deceased and when my mom got on ss 5 months ago, ss tried to say she had to pay $819 overpayment. Well she got it waived and now they are after me. I was 10 yrs old at the time. My question is, since i was underage and did not cash the checks myself, am I responsible for this money?

I do not think you are responsible for the money. The letter they sent you should have a number to call if you are concerned about their decision (to raise and debt against you). Tell them about the situation and ask them what is the process to seek a review of their decision.

There is usually an initial internal review (review by the original decision maker), if that is still not satisfactory to you, you can ask for, and they'd get another officer who's independent from the case to review. If you still don't agree, that you can appeal the decision to a tribunal...

Social Security gives money to parents for the cost of raising children. Your parents are responsible for that money, not you.
