How To Pay Us Back

 

3107B You should refund this overpayment within 30 days. Please make your check or money order payable to “Social Security Administration” and send it to us in the enclosed envelope. Always include your claim number (as shown above) on the check or money order. If you cannot refund the $ (1) now, you should give us: (a) a partial payment; (b) an explanation of your assets and income and expenses; and (c) a definite plan for repaying the rest of the money.
  Please send your check or money order in United States currency or in local currency equal to the United States dollars. When you pay us in local currency, we use the exchange rate in effect at the time we get your payment. If this causes a difference between the amount you pay us and the amount you owe us, we will let you know. If you cannot mail your payment directly to us, please go to the nearest United States Embassy or consulate for help in making the refund.
