PDF Document OIG A-01-07-17039, Audit Report, Title II Benefits to Fugitive Felons and Parole Violators

As a result of the suspension of benefits to fugitive felons, OIG estimates SSA saved the Title II program about $404.3 million through March 2008. This includes (1) $47.3 million in fugitive felon overpayments that were recovered; (2) $218.6 million in ongoing monthly benefits that were withheld from the fugitive felons while their warrants remained unsatisfied; and (3)$138.4 million in ongoing monthly benefits that were withheld from beneficiaries while they were incarcerated following their apprehension. OIG estimates that SSA had the potential to save an additional $249.6 million as of March 2008. This includes (1) $89.5 million in benefits that will likely be withheld over the next 12 months from beneficiaries whose warrants remain unsatisfied and (2) $160.1 million in overpayments that had not yet been recovered from the fugitive felons. SSA did not save approximately $60.3 million. This includes (1) $41.8 million in overpayments that were waived or deemed uncollectible and (2)$18.5 million that was paid to beneficiaries with outstanding felony warrants that will not be recovered because of the ruling in Fowlkes case.

Link to Committee for Public Counsel Services (MA Public Defenders)

Contact CPCS for assistance with clearing up Massachusetts-based default warrants and probation violations. Clients must meet indigency standards in SJC Rule 3:10 (see http://www.lawlib.state.ma.us/sjc310.html) in order to get a CPCS attorney and an attorney will not be assigned until the client appears in court in Massachusetts. You should be able to get advice from CPCS prior to the assignment of counsel, however. CPCS does not handle parole violations.
