Online Payment Options Now Available for Overpayment Balances
If you no longer receive Social Security disability benefits (SSDI/SSI), but need to pay back an overpayment, you have a new option for making payments.Â
An overpayment happens when you receive a higher benefit payment from Social Security than what you were due for that month. It is the difference between the benefit payment you received and the amount you were due. You can now make payments online. You can make full or partial payments using a credit card, debit card or bank account transfer.
Your billing notices now include the new Pay.gov direct payment option and a new 10-character alphanumeric Remittance ID that you will use instead of your Social Security number when making a payment online. There will be a unique Remittance ID with each monthly bill.
You can easily make payments online at pay.gov/public/form/start/834689469. You can also access the site by visiting Pay.gov and searching for "SSA" or "Social Security."
It's as easy as 1-2-3
Step 1: Access the secure payment site at Pay.gov using your Remittance ID. A new and unique Remittance ID is included with each monthly billing statement you will receive.
Step 2: Input your payment information using one of the approved payment methods.
Step 3: Review your payment information and submit your payment.
