Social Security demands money from Georgia woman from 4 decades ago - when she was still a child
ATLANTA — The Social Security Administration is demanding a Georgia woman should have to pay for a government mistake the agency made more than four decades ago.
Channel 2 Action News has learned that the SSA is using an obscure law to go after decades-old debts its says its owed.
Channel 2 Investigative Reporter Justin Gray said that what makes the case so strange is that the government is going after people who did not even get the money in the first place.

Ginger Snowden was just 14 years old back in the 1970s when the SSA now says it mistakenly overpaid her father social security benefits.
Now, long after his death, the federal government wants her to pay back the money.
Federal officials are standing by the claim, telling Gray that they have a legal right to demand payment.
