Mark Your Calendars-Webinar on Social Security Fraud, Similar Fault & Penalties.

The Center for Elder Rights Advocacy (CERA) has announced their upcoming webinar on October 8th, 2015.  The webinar, Social Security Fraud, Similar Fault & Penalties will take place from 2 – 3:30 p.m. eastern.  According to the website

CERA presents a webinar regarding the issue of clients reporting an overpayment involving allegations by Social Security of “fraud or similar fault.” These cases present unique challenges for the hotline attorney. Social Security’s rules on overpayments differ when Social Security finds that the overpayment resulted from “fraud or similar fault.” Normal due process rules for overpayments do not apply, and Social Security can assess additional financial penalties when an administrative determination is made that “fraud or similar fault” is applicable. This webinar will address ways to advise clients who receive a notice from Social Security alleging an overpayment involving “fraud and similar fault,” or who have an overpayment on their record with such a determination. The webinar is particularly directed toward legal hotline advocates and managers.

This webinar addresses:

• A review of rules applicable to “fraud and similar fault” findings.

• A discussion of differences in normal overpayment collection cases vs. fraud cases.

• Giving competent advice to clients faced with an overpayment arising from fraud or similar fault.
