WQ.130/2019
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR SOCIAL SECURITY
BY DEPUTY R.J. WARD OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 12th MARCH 2019
Question
How many people are currently repaying benefits overpayments where more than one year has elapsed since the original overpayment?
What are the mean and mode averages for the level of weekly repayments in these circumstances? What is the mean and mode average period in months that such repayments will continue to be taken? What guidelines are used to calculate repayments in such circumstances?
Answer
It is not possible to break down repayments of Social Security benefit into those where more than one year has elapsed since the original overpayment.
The Department does not have fixed guidelines for repayment amounts because levels of claim adjustment are set individually for each household claim on a case-by-case basis.
