                    TITLE 28--JUDICIAL ADMINISTRATION
 
                    CHAPTER I--DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
 
PART 11_DEBT COLLECTION--Table of Contents
 
               Subpart B_Administration of Debt Collection
 
Sec. 11.7  Salary adjustments.

    Any negative adjustment to pay arising out of an employee's election 
of coverage, or a change in coverage, under a Federal benefits program 
requiring periodic deductions from pay shall not be considered 
collection of a ``debt'' for the purposes of this subpart if the amount 
to be recovered was accumulated over four pay periods or less. In such 
cases, the Department need not comply with Sec. 11.8, but it will 
endeavor to provide a clear and concise statement in the employee's 
earnings statement advising the employee of the previous overpayment at 
the time the adjustment is made.
