17.101—Coordinating administrative offset with another Federal agency.

(a) When HUD is owed the debt. When the Department is owed a debt, but another Federal agency is responsible for making the payment to the debtor against which administrative offset is sought, the other agency shall not initiate the requested administrative offset until the Department provides the agency with a written certification that the debtor owes the Department a debt (including the amount and basis of the debt and the due date of the payment) and that the Department has complied with these regulations.

(b) When another agency is owed the debt. The Department may administratively offset money it owes to a person who is indebted to another agency if requested to do so by that agency. Such a request must be accompanied by a certification by the requesting agency that the person owes the debt (including the amount) and that the person has been given the procedural rights required by 31 U.S.C. 3716 and 4 CFR part 102.
