DPS Notice: Waiver Approval letter

A. Requesting instructions

The person making the waiver determination requests this notice and provides the appropriate fill-ins. We use this notice for Title II domestic disability cases, all Title II foreign cases, and Black Lung cases only. Refer to NL 00703.182 for Supplemental Security Income case.

B. Exhibit notice

We are writing to tell you that we are waiving the collection of *F1 *F2 overpayment of $*F3. This means *F4 will not have to pay this money back.

The Reason For Our Decision1

For us to waive the collection of this overpayment, two things have to be true.

  • It was not *F5 fault that *F6 got too much *F7 money.

    AND

  • Paying us back would mean *F8 cannot pay *F9 bills for food, clothing, housing, medical care, or other necessary
    expenses, or it would be unfair for some other reason.

Based on the facts we have, we found that both of these are true about *F10. Therefore, *F11 will not have to pay us back. (E3180.1)

If You Disagree With The Decision (ALSC04)

If you do not agree with this decision, you have the right to appeal. We will review your case and look at any new facts you have. A person who did not make the first decision will decide your case. We will review the parts of the decision that you think are wrong and correct any mistakes. We may also review the parts of our decision that you think are right. We will make a decision that may or may not be in your favor.

  • You have 60 days to ask for an appeal in writing.

  • The 60 days start the day after you receive this letter. We assume you got this letter 5 days after the date on it unless you show us that you did not get it within the 5-day period.

  • You must have a good reason if you wait more than 60 days to ask for an appeal.

  • You can file an appeal with any Social Security office. You must ask for an appeal in writing. Please use our "Request for Reconsideration" form, SSA-561. You may go to our website at *F1 to find the form SSA-561. You can also contact us by phone, mail, or come into an office to request the form.
