HUD Debt Collection: Revisions and Update to the Procedures for the Collection of Claims

Riepilogo

On July 5, 2011, HUD published a proposed rule to revise and update HUD's regulations governing the procedures for the collection of claims by HUD. The rule proposed to revise HUD's debt collection regulations to implement the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 and the revised Federal Claims Collection Standards. The DCIA and FCCS generally apply to the collection of nontax debt owed to the Federal Government and require referral of all eligible delinquent nontax debt to the Department of the Treasury for collection by centralized offset and to a designated debt collection center for debt servicing when a debt becomes 180 days delinquent. The rule also proposed to update and make technical corrections to HUD's salary offset provisions to conform to the changes made to HUD's debt collection regulations. HUD is adopting the proposed rule without change. HUD did not receive any public comments on the proposed rule.
