Ombudsman warns thousands of people may have missed out on a refund
Services Australia has been criticised by a government watchdog for continuing to recoup money from welfare recipients through its botched robodebt scheme after it had admitted the program was unlawful.
A commonwealth ombudsman report also warned it was possible a few thousand people may have missed out on a refund because their debt was either incorrectly assessed by Services Australia officials or wrongly upheld at the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT).
