social security overpayment
My husband was very sick 11 yrs ago with leukemia. We received disability from social security and then they wanted the money back. After a hearing the amount of overage was to be paid back with a monthly payment. I had heard that there is possibly a forgiveness settlement after 10 years. Is this possible? We still owe about $16000.

Oh no. There is news on this front. First of all, clawbacks are being limited.
Second of all, there is new attention to waiver requests. Did you file a waiver request because of hardship? If not, you should do that right now.
Have you been paying monthly via a deduction from your Social Security benefit?
