My brother, who is on SSI, just got hit with an $8300 clawback repayment because 1) he didn't understand that he had to repay some $5400 in power bill arrears when the Oregon COVID moratorium on utility payments was lifted and family had to bail him out and 2) he is being socked with overpayment because he had to go to the hospital in December with a variety of health ailments and didn't get released until March and 3) because his space rent is so outrageous, he is unable to pay his property tax and homeowners insurance without family help. I am his representative payee, and had I known I would treated as if I were a co-signer of a loan, I would NEVER have done this.

I don't think he is affected by the 100 percent clawback of his benefits because the letter was dated March 26.
