[QUOTE="pajamas, post: 503292, member: 13499"] I don't have experience with SSI specifically, but with other SSA checks. When I was young, naive & broke, I had to repay $$$ in death benefits that were accidcentally overpaid, and SSA's answer was basically, "it never was yours to begin with, so give it over." Not ugly about it, just the facts in their role of protecting taxpayer dollars. If it was a mistake, in all likelihood they will figure it out at some point, probably as part of some internal audit - could be years. When they do figure it out, they will want it back regardless of the amount or how long it's been. If it's direct deposit, they may just take it back. You'll get a notice, but it probably won't arrive before the money leaves. For $60, it's (probably? I hope?) not a big deal, but if it starts adding up, you should get someone to check into it.
