In 2013, AMAC—The Association of Mature American Citizens—took a big step with the creation of the AMAC Foundation, Inc., a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit entity designed to serve Americans. The Foundation’s mission is to help protect and ensure the financial security, health, and social lives of current and future mature Americans, and to help Americans navigate the bewildering array of decisions they need to make.
The Foundation’s projects and plans include providing factual information that improves understanding of the positive value of Social Security and Medicare and the current and long-term challenges these programs face, as well as providing interpretations by Certified Social Security Advisors through AMAC publications, workshops, webinars, podcasts, and telephone support.
In addition, the Foundation serves all Americans in a variety of capacities, including provision of a source of education on the principles of American Free Enterprise, long-term retirement financial planning, and preparing for life—and potential employment—after retirement.

I am curious is there is any consideration to waive social security over payments for retired healthcare workers mobilized to support COVID vaccination initiatives.
Lou Ann,
Social Security has announced changes to (streamlining of) their processes for handling overpayment waiver requests, but we’re not aware of any special overpayment relief simply because you left retirement to assist with COVID-19 initiatives. However, if you were overpaid SS benefits during the pandemic as a consequence of Social Security not performing their duties in a timely manner, then you can request a waiver of an overpayment which happened as a result of Social Security’s lack of action during the pandemic. To do this you can request a waiver of the overpayment on the basis of it being “against equity and good conscious” which basically means the overpayment was due to Social Security’s actions (or lack thereof). You can do that by submitting form SSA-632, which you can find at this link: https://www.ssa.gov/forms/ssa-632.html
