Read twice and referred to the Committee on Finance.
Bill 119 s 1023, also known as the "Limiting Overpayments to 10 Years Act," is a proposed amendment to the Social Security Act. The purpose of this bill is to restrict the government's ability to recover overpayments made under titles II and XVI of the Social Security Act to a maximum of 10 years.

Currently, the government has the authority to recover overpayments indefinitely, which can create financial hardship for individuals who have received these overpayments. This bill seeks to provide relief to individuals by limiting the time period in which the government can collect on these overpayments.

If passed, this bill would ensure that individuals are not burdened with excessive debt due to overpayments made by the government. It would also provide a more reasonable and fair approach to recovering these funds. Overall, the "Limiting Overpayments to 10 Years Act" aims to protect individuals from financial hardship and provide a more balanced approach to the recovery of overpayments under the Social Security Act.
