Debt Management
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) proposes to amend its regulations that govern the management of debts owed to it by program participants and other debtors. The rule proposes changes to existing regulations to further implement the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (DCIA) and the Federal Claims Collection Standards. The changes will affect USDA requirements for collection and settlement of debts, including administrative offset of eligible payments, and referral to the Department of the Treasury (Treasury) for collection. These changes are intended to ensure that USDA debt collection procedures comply with current laws and Treasury regulations governing Federal debt management.
