Original Note:
The 2023 OIG report uses "improper payment" to define any over or under payment to eligible beneficiaries, which represented under 1% of payments. All but $23B had been repaid at the time. SSA's post falsely implies this is a result of fraud or payments to non-beneficiaries. https://oig.ssa.gov/news-releases/2024-08-19-ig-reports-nearly-72-billion-improperly-paid-recommended-improvements-go-unimplemented/
