begin at the next officially established pay interval. The FCA shall 
send the debtor written notice which provides:
    (1) That the FCA has received a valid claim certification from the 
creditor agency;
    (2) The date on which salary offset will begin;
    (3) The amount of the debt; and
    (4) The amount of such deductions.
    (b) If, after the creditor agency has submitted the claim 
certification to the FCA, the employee transfers to a different agency 
before the debt is collected in full, the FCA must certify the total 
amount collected on the debt. The FCA shall send a copy of this 
certification to the creditor agency and a copy to the employee. If the 
FCA is aware that the employee is entitled to payments from the Civil 
Service Retirement Fund and Disability Fund, or other similar payments, 
it shall provide written notification to the agency responsible for 
making such payments that the debtor owes a debt (including the amount).
