Social Security Underpayment Error Affects Thousands

The mistake, totaling $478.5 million, will be corrected with repayments to affected recipients and to survivors or estates of deceased retirees. Commissioner Shirley Chater vows immediate action to prevent recurrence and to process overdue underpayments, as officials acknowledge the burden on an agency already grappling with high claim backlogs and fraud controls.
