Sen. Heinz
introduces
legislation
Senator. John Heinz (R-PA)
recently introduced legislation to
protect widows and widowers from
the Social Security’s Administra-
tion’s ‘Big Brother’ debt collection
tactics.
“Almost a quarter of a million
Americans annually suffer the
shock of a bank statement with a
large debit to the Social Security
Administration; a withdrawal made
without the account holder’s permis-
sion, made to correct a government
error,” Heinz said. ‘Too often the
victim of these bureaucratic out-
rages is the recent victim of per-
sonal loss; the surviving spouse of a
deceased Social Security benefi-
ciary.”
Heinz, who chairs the Special
Committee on Aging, made his com-
ments at a press conference where
he heard the story of Berdie
Thomas, a 65-year-old widow from
East Palo Alto, California. Thomas,
whose only income is the several
hundred dollars she receives in
monthly benefits, reported her hus-
band’s death in 1980 to the Social
Security Administration and closed
their joint bank account. But SSA
continued to deposit her husband’s
benefits for five months anyway,
Thomas said. Then they ‘‘got
together with the bank to get back
their money; they took $1400 and
left me $11--1 was shocked,”
Thomas told Heinz.
“It’s not hard to condemn this
type of pilfering by the government
to correct mistakes which are often
of its own making,” Heinz said.
“It’s doubly reprehensible in that
SSA’s actions fly in the face of the
Congressional intent.”
Heinz told reporters that he first
learned of these clandestine forages
into people’s bank accounts at a
hearing of the Committee in 1983.
“Although we’ve had some luck in
getting the Treasury Department to
at least require that banks notify
living beneficiaries of any direct
debit action, we ran into a brick
wall at SSA when trying to get
survivors the same rights.”
Heinz’s bill calls for an amend-
1” LD ‘which would require that depen-
—4—~—+="_ dents of deceased beneficiaries be
gy notified of any overpayment and be
igiven the opportunity to request a
cases of special hardship, when
there is no personal fault. Rep.
Bruce Morrison (D-CT) today intro-
duced similar legislation in the
Current practice at the Social
{ funds from the joint account a
their spouse if ‘erroneous’ pay-
ments were made to the deceased
beneficiary. As in the case of Mrs.
Thomas, the only recourse for fami-
lies of the deceased is to engage in
long and traumatic court battles
| with SSA if an appeal is necessary.

'the deceased have the same rights

Many people in the Wilkes-Barre
area do not seem to be aware that
they can take care of a great: deal of
their business with Social Security
over the telephone, Thomas Lavelle
Social Security manager in Wilkes-
Barre, said recently.
The best time to call Social Secur-
ity is after the middle of the month.
That is because the first part of the
month is usually a very busy time.
Of course, Lavelle said; if a person
has urgent ‘business, he or she
should call at any time.
