Ask the Expert: Dealing with Overpayments

February 5, 2009, 9:30am-4:30pm

This highly interactive full day training facilitated by Edwin Lopez-Soto, Esq., nationally recognized benefits expert will include updates on legislative and policy changes relevant to benefits management. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss their current cases, allowing for both expert guidance and input from colleagues. Participants will also learn how to assist consumers who have received more benefits than they are entitled to, such as when they are hospitalized or return to work. The focus will be on the most effective ways to respond to overpayments and to advocate for consumers. Participants will be taught how to complete a "waiver of overpayment" questionnaire and will be given valuable tips about how to navigate the Social Security bureaucracy.
