Alright, ****! To help you further, could you let me know if you've already reviewed the notice of overpayment and if you believe the amount is incorrect or if it causes financial hardship?
the amount is correct, it was paid out after they had received multiple instructions from me to stop paying me

It seems like you have a situation where you instructed the SSA to stop payments, but they continued. You might consider:
- Requesting a waiver due to administrative error.
- Contacting SSA directly to explain the situation.
Would you like help finding legal resources or more guidance on appealing the decision?

SSA states that requesting a "waiver" means the two following are true: (a) The overpayment was not my fault in any way (which is true) and (b) I can not meet my ordinary living expenses if they recover the payment, or recovery would be "unfair" for some other reason. (yes, completely unfair I have to pay for their mis-handling of my account)

yes I would like the legal jargon used to inform them that due to their lack of proper custodianship of my social security funds I was overpaid despite repeated requests to them in advance to stop payments

Here's a suggested wording for your communication with the SSA:
---
Subject: Request for Waiver of Overpayment Due to Administrative Error
Dear [SSA Representative's Name],
I am writing to formally request a waiver for the overpayment of my Social Security funds. The overpayment occurred due to the SSA's lack of proper custodianship, despite my repeated requests to halt payments. These requests were made well in advance, and the continued disbursement was not a result of any fault on my part.
I have attached evidence of my prior communications and documentation demonstrating that the repayment would impose financial hardship and is fundamentally unfair. I respectfully request that you review my case and grant a waiver under these circumstances.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
**** [Your Last Name]

please answer this question; if I believe it is unfair (NOT a financial hardship) how would you re-phrase the answer so as to put the responsibility entirely on SSA?

Subject: Request for Waiver of Overpayment Due to Administrative Error
Dear [SSA Representative's Name],
I am writing to formally request a waiver for the overpayment of my Social Security funds. The overpayment was solely due to the SSA's administrative oversight, as I had provided multiple instructions to cease payments. This continued disbursement was entirely beyond my control and not a result of any action on my part.
The recovery of these funds would be unjust due to the SSA's mishandling, and I request a review of my case for a waiver based on these grounds.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

hey one more question in using the above response, what is the best legal terminology to use to decline an inquiry into my income or assets in conjuntion with the waiver?
Case Rating: *
When declining an inquiry into your income or assets for a waiver, you might consider using the following legal terminology:
- "Confidentiality of Financial Status: I assert my right to privacy concerning my financial information as per applicable laws and regulations. Disclosure of such information is not requisite for establishing the SSA's administrative error in this case."
Would you like further advice or clarification on this matter?

yes please elaborate

When asserting your privacy rights regarding financial information, it's important to be clear and concise. You can emphasize that the waiver request is based on administrative error rather than financial hardship, making disclosure unnecessary. Would you like more detailed wording or guidance on specific legal terms?

should the declining income/Asset inquiry accompany the initial response or should I wait until they respond?

In this situation, it's generally advisable to include the declining income/asset inquiry in your initial response. This approach clearly sets the boundaries regarding the financial information you're willing to disclose and aligns your waiver request with the context of administrative error from the outset.
