PART 608_COLLECTION OF CLAIMS OWED THE UNITED STATES--Table of Contents
 
                     Subpart C_Offset Against Salary
 
Sec. 608.841  Requesting current paying agency to offset salary.

    (a) To request a paying agency to impose a salary offset against 
amounts owed to the debtor, the FCA shall provide the paying agency with 
a claim certification which meets the requirements set forth in Sec. 
608.825(a). The FCA shall also provide the paying agency with a 
repayment schedule determined under the provisions of Sec. 608.839 or 
in accordance with a repayment agreement entered into with the debtor.
    (b) If the employee separates from the paying agency before the debt 
is paid in full, the paying agency shall certify the total amount 
collected on the debt. A copy of this certification shall be sent to the 
employee and a copy shall be sent to the FCA. If the paying agency is 
aware that the employee is entitled to payments from the Civil Service 
Retirement and Disability Fund, or other similar payments, it must 
provide written notification to the agency responsible for making such 
payments that the debtor owes a debt (including the amount) and that the 
provisions of this section have been fully complied with. However, the 
FCA must submit a properly certified claim to the agency responsible for 
making such payments before the collection can be made.
    (c) When an employee transfers to another paying agency, the FCA is 
not required to repeat the due process procedures set forth in 5 U.S.C. 
5514 and this part to resume the collection. The FCA shall, however, 
review the debt upon receiving the former paying agency's notice of the 
employee's transfer to make sure the collection is resumed by the new 
paying agency.
    (d) If a special review is conducted pursuant to Sec. 608.811 and 
results in a revised offset or repayment schedule, the FCA shall provide 
a new claim certification to the paying agency.
