Peggy Berg v. Social Security Administration
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, No. 17-2389 · judgment August 17, 2018
Before the decision, roughly the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a circuit split argued in the petition and a petition filed soon after the judgment below.
Question presented
Under Bankruptcy Code Section 553(b), regarding when “a creditor offsets a mutual debt owing” and “the date of such setoff,” does this require that the debt be “absolutely owed” (as the Fifth Circuit held) or can a setoff occur at some earlier time, even where conditions such as continued disability and survival through a later date have not yet occurred (as the Third and Seventh Circuits held)?
