The new chief of the Social Security Administration outlined for senators Wednesday a plan to tackle overpayments and clawbacks, which affect millions of beneficiaries and, he said, have caused “grave injustices” and left people “in dire financial straits.” As a joint investigation by KFF Health News and Cox Media Group television stations reported in September, the agency has harmed people it is supposed to help by reducing or halting benefit checks to recoup billions of dollars in payments it sent them but later said they should never have received. Testifying at two Senate hearings on March...

The Social Security Administration’s new chief is promising to overhaul the agency’s system of clawing back billions of dollars it claims was wrongly sent to beneficiaries, saying it “just doesn’t seem right or fair.” In an interview with KFF Health News, SSA Commissioner Martin O’Malley said that in the coming days he would propose changes to help people avoid crushing debts that have driven some into homelessness and caused financial hardships for the nation’s most vulnerable — the poorest of the poor and people with disabilities or persistent medical conditions or who are at least age 65.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s expensive ballot-box attempt to tackle the mental health and addiction crisis on the state’s streets is leading by a razor-thin margin, a week after the March 5 election. The close vote reflects growing skepticism among voters that he can effectively address the state’s homelessness epidemic. Proposition 1 would fund thousands of new housing units and treatment beds with a $6.4 billion bond and by redirecting $3 to $4 billion in existing mental health tax revenue. It is the latest in Newsom’s arsenal of policy ideas to attack homelessness and...

In a controversial move opposed by human rights activists and charity workers, Luxembourg has recently banned begging in the streets of its wealthy capital, Luxembourg City. The new legislation was formally introduced in the city, where over 114,000 people live, on 15 December 2023 by the newly appointed home affairs minister Léon Gloden. His predecessor Tania Bofferding fiercely opposed it. It was initially approved by the Luxembourg City Council in March 2023, but Bofferding had prevented the national police from enforcing the ban. It's now been roughly a month since the ban fully came into ...

Playa del Rey (United States) (AFP) - Tamara Hernandez moved into a recreational vehicle when her rent shot up. Beau Beard did it because he lost everything after going to prison. Stories like theirs abound in California where RVs and trailers, once a symbol of carefree living by the ocean, increasingly reflect a less glamorous slice of life in the Golden State: a housing crisis and the growing number of people without a roof over their head. A third of all the homeless people in America live in wealthy California, which if it were a country would boast the world's fifth-largest economy. In Lo...
