The overpayment is recovered by deductions from the future RSA.
If you are no longer collecting the SSA, the refund of amounts wrongly collected is done by one of the following methods:
- Withholding from future monthly payments (family benefits, disabled adult allowance, housing allowances)
- Transfer to MSA account
- Check payable to Mr. MSA accounting officer
- Mandate to the Postal Bank on the MSA account number or in cash
Deductions are based on the composition of your home, your resources and your housing expenses.
