                  CHAPTER II--RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD

 

PART 255_RECOVERY OF OVERPAYMENTS--Table of Contents

 

Sec.  255.14  Waiver not available when recovery can be made from 

accrual of social security benefits.



    Where the overpayment is the result of a reduction of benefits 

payable under the Railroad Retirement Act due to the overpaid 

individual's entitlement to social security benefits and recovery of 

such overpayment may be made by offset against an accrual of social 

security benefits, it shall not be considered to be against equity or 

good conscience or contrary to the purpose of the Railroad Retirement 

Act to recover the overpayment by offset against the accrual. 

Consequently, in such a case recovery of an overpayment is not subject 

to waiver consideration.
