Title 5: Administrative Personnel
CHAPTER I: OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT
SUBCHAPTER B: CIVIL SERVICE REGULATIONS
PART 550: PAY ADMINISTRATION (GENERAL)
Subpart K: Collection by Offset From Indebted Government Employees
550.1102 - Scope.
(a) Coverage. This subpart applies to agencies and employees defined by ? 550.1103.
(b) Applicability. This subpart and 5 U.S.C. 5514 apply in recovering certain debts by administrative offset, except where the employee consents to the recovery, from the current pay account of the employee. Because salary offset is a type of administrative offset, debt collection procedures for salary offset which are not specified in 5 U.S.C. 5514 and these regulations should be consistent with the provisions of the Federal Claims Collections Standards (FCCS) (dealing with administrative offset generally) and 31 CFR part 285 (dealing with centralized administrative offset under 31 U.S.C. 3716). Section 550.1108 addresses the use of centralized administrative offset procedures to effect salary offset. Generally, the procedures under ? 550.1109 should apply only when centralized administrative offset cannot be accomplished.
(1) Excluded debts. The procedures contained in this subpart do not apply to debts arising under the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C. 1 et seq.) or the tariff laws of the United States or to any case where collection of a debt by salary offset is explicitly provided for or prohibited by another statute (e.g., travel advances in 5 U.S.C. 5705 and employee training expenses in 5 U.S.C. 4108).
(2) Waiver requests. This subpart does not preclude an employee from requesting waiver of an erroneous payment under 5 U.S.C. 5584, 10 U.S.C. 2774, or 32 U.S.C. 716, or in any way questioning the amount or validity of a debt, in the manner prescribed by the head of the responsible agency. Similarly, this subpart does not preclude an employee from requesting waiver of the collection of a debt under any other applicable statutory authority.
