Who Is Responsible for an Overpayment to a Deceased Person?

My son with Asperger Syndrome was receiving disability benefits, after 2 years of appeals he was determined to have a permanent lifelong disability.
I was both his Court appointed Feduciary Guardian and his Social Security representative Payee. In 2012-13 I was also my 92yo fathers caretaker and live-in hospice care worker. My son earned $13,631 during 2013 which exceeded the $1010/month maximum for 9 of the 12 months, for a total of $1,511 during the year.
In February of 2014 he was notified that his payments were stopped because of his earnings. He lost the ability to pay rent on his apartment 1/4 mile from his job and was forced to move back home with his mother. Subsequently he also lost his job, had to drop out of his part time college classes due to being unable to afford transportation. In February of 2015, one year after the loss of his disability benefits, overwhelmed with debts and responsibilities he committed suicide.
social security had sent him a bill for $13,000+ of "overpayment".
Meanwhile as I am with dad in his last days my wife filed for divorce. During that time I did not get all of my mail including social security notices.
I did not file an appeal within the 60 days required, and as a result I was ordered to repay the full overpayment, now after taking my son's tax refund, of $11,038.
I filed a waiver request which was denied, and have a conference coming up in a couple of days. what are my options?

My Brother just passed away about a week ago.How do we go about stopping payments.

do you have any information on how I can help my mom? My aunt, my moms sister died suddenly, and my mother inherited her son who is autistic. My mother took him in (10 years old) because his father abandoned him when he was only an infant, and no other family would take him. A year or so ago, my mom received a notice saying that while living, my aunt received an SS overpayment for $86,000, of course my mom had no idea, but was even more outraged because they are trying to stick her with this bill. absolutely unfair that they are trying to punish her for something she has nothing to do with. My mom need help and funds to raise this special needs child and cant get any assistance. They are not only trying to take money from her to pay it, but also are trying to penalize this autistic childs future. What is he going to have to live on when he becomes an adult? totally unfair, please help me with some direction.

Starting in 2003 my husband was receiving Social Security disability due to a work injury. He was receiving workers compensation along with Social Security Disability. After the course of 13 years he passed away. Now I get a letter stating that the social security was in error and paid him too much during those 13 years. They are holding me responsible for the $47,000 overage. I was his representitive payee and legal guardian due to his traumatic brain injury. He died with no estate and I was the executor of his estate filed with the court. There is no money in his estate. Additionally, I went down to social security and they looked up the records. They saw where my annual reporting was correct. They stated they see where the error is and its not my fault. They said either workers comp was reporting that they were giving my husband only one monthly check when in fact they were giving him two, like they were supposed to do, or SSA interpreted it all incorrectly. Every person I went to at SSA saw the error, yet they are now witholding my benefits when my reports were accurate for all of those years. I even had one SSA employee take the letter I received and tore it up in front of me saying "this is not your responsibility. Stop worrying about it." I'm trying to fight this right now but they have withheld my $1,600 a month payment for the next three to four years in order to pay this back. Do I have a fight?

My mother in law received disability payments for a few months before she passed. There was no back pay. It began once the 6 month waiting period lapsed.
Through not fault of her own (paperwork submitted correctly by her), her spouse's income was not input into the system. She received overpayment benefits for her first couple checks until the income was fixed.
An original payment plan was put into place in which a portion was kept out of her subsequent checks.
I am under the impression she only received approximately 4 payments in total.
It has been nearly a year and now someone has contacted her spouse requiring repayment from him.
I don't understand the specifics of "joint" benefits. He did not receive disability. It was solely her.
There is no estate and she did not have any life insurance policies or assets for it to come out of.
Is there any type of exemption for this situation?

If my husband accrued the debt years before I met him, would I be responsible for the debt after his death. We've been married 8 yrs. and I just found out about the debt a few years ago. The debt is an overpayment from social security of $99,000. He stated that he told them that he started working again, but has no proof.

SS is trying to collect a so called overpayment from my husband that occurred 15 years before we married. He was married to his ex-wife at the time. Can I be held responsible for the debt after his death. We've been married 2.5 yrs. in the state of PA. Also, will SS look at my annuity account, established years before we married, as funds for payment.
