India, June 6 -- A 30-year-old Social Security overpayment left an Iowa man facing a debt claim from the IRS. An Iowa man, Christopher Storm, was left shocked after the IRS took away his tax refund to recover an old Social Security debt. The IRS said Storm had received more Social Security money than he was supposed to get nearly 30 years ago, according to IRS records cited by The US Sun.

Storm started receiving Social Security survivor benefits when he was 17 after his father died, according to Storm's account to a local news outlet. He received about $500 every month until he turned 18, Storm said. After turning 18, he also received a final lump-sum payment of $3,000, according to Storm.

The IRS now claims that Storm was overpaid back...
