(b)(1)(i) 10 percent of the monthly title VIII benefits payable for that month and
(b)(1)(ii) in the case of title XVI benefits, an amount no greater than the lesser of the benefit payable for that month or an amount equal to 10 percent of your income for that month (including such monthly benefit but excluding payments under title II when recovery is also made from title II benefits and excluding income excluded pursuant to Sec. §§416.1112 and 416.1124 of this chapter).
(b)(2) Paragraph (b)(1) of this section does not apply if:
(b)(2)(i) You request and we approve a different rate of withholding, or
(b)(2)(ii) You or your spouse willfully misrepresented or concealed material information in connection with the overpayment.
(c) In determining whether to grant your request that we withhold less than the amount described in paragraph (b)(1) of this section, we will use the criteria applied under §404.508 to similar requests about withholding from title II benefits.
(d) If you or your spouse willfully misrepresented or concealed material information in connection with the overpayment, we will collect the overpayment by withholding the lesser of the overpayment balance or the entire amount of title VIII and title XVI benefits payable to you.
