Overpayment of Benefits - Recovery Sought over Several YEars

[rocknrolls2]

A situation has arisen where a plan has determined that a participant had been overpaid in her pension benefit payments. The plan intends to recoup the overpayment by asking the participant to agree to have amounts deducted from prospective pension payments over several months. Is there a specified percentage limit of pension benefit payment that must be applied in determining the maximum amount that may be deducted from the participant's prospective pension payments? If so, what is it and what is the statutory or regulatory citation where such limitation can be found?
