Sens. Gary Peters (D-MI) and Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) urged the Social Security Administration to crack down on overpayment errors in a letter on Thursday.

The senators wrote the overpayment problems, which can take years to spot, can place financial hardships on millions of recipients, including seniors and disabled people. Recipients who are overpaid are expected to pay back the funds.
