Social Security bows to pressure - abruptly ends collection of decades-old debts
Yesterday, we talked about how the Treasury had been confiscating people’s tax refunds in an effort to collect decades-old debts - often with no evidence of the debt’s validity. They were also targeting family members of the supposed debtors, despite the fact that they may not have ever known about the debts, and aren’t legally responsible for them in the first place.
The story exploded after a piece in the Washington Post spread like wildfire, and has - at least for now - come to an abrupt conclusion. The SSA has decided to immediately suspend its efforts.
