PART 608_COLLECTION OF CLAIMS OWED THE UNITED STATES--Table of Contents
 
                     Subpart C_Offset Against Salary
 
Sec. 608.835  Purpose.


    The purpose of this subpart is to implement section 5 of the Debt 
Collection Act of 1982 (Pub. L. 97-365)(5 U.S.C. 5514), which authorizes 
the collection of debts owed by Federal employees to the Federal 
Government by means of salary offsets. These regulations provide 
procedures for the collection of a debt owed to the Government by the 
imposition of a salary offset against amounts payable to a Federal 
employee as salary. These regulations are consistent with the 
regulations on salary offset published by the Office of Personnel 
Management, codified in 5 CFR part 550, subpart K. Since salary offset 
is a type of administrative offset, this subpart supplements subpart B.
