When a letter from the Social Security Administration landed in one Reddit user's mailbox, they expected routine paperwork. Instead, it claimed they owed more than $11,000 in overpaid benefits — money they say they never received.

Eventually, the relationship with their father soured, and about four years ago, he disappeared entirely. They had no contact — until the SSA letter arrived, holding them responsible for benefits tied to his claim.
