Social Security Administration (SSA) chief Martin O'Malley vows to overhaul the agency's system of recovering overpayments, calling it "cruel-hearted and mindless." O'Malley proposes concrete steps, such as a statute of limitations, shifting the burden of proof to the agency, and imposing a 10% cap on clawbacks for some beneficiaries, to address the injustices faced by vulnerable Americans. He believes the SSA can address these issues without waiting for congressional action.
