What do I need to file a civil suit against the SSA for over-payments?

Full question:

I need to file a civil suit against the Social Security Administration regarding their claim of $80,000 in Disability over-payments. Other then the Civil Cover Sheet what else do I need to file pro-se until I can locate an attorney? The 60 day SSA deadline is July 22, 2009.

Answer:

The forms you need depend on your situation regarding the over-payments. If you believe the over-payment amount or the reason for it is incorrect, you can appeal for reconsideration. If you agree that the amount was overpaid but believe it wasn't your fault and you cannot afford to repay it, you can request a waiver.
