22 C.F.R. § 309.38 Civil and Foreign Service Retirement Fund.
Title 22 - Foreign Relations
(a) Unless otherwise prohibited by law, Peace Corps may request that monies that are due and payable to a debtor from the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund, the Foreign Service Retirement Fund or any other Federal retirement fund be administratively offset in reasonable amounts in order to collect in one full payment or a minimal number of payments, debts owed the United States by the debtor. Such requests shall be made to the appropriate officials of the respective fund servicing agency in accordance with such regulations as may be prescribed by the Director of that agency. The requests for administrative offset will certify in writing the following: (1) The debtor owes the United States a debt and the amount of the debt; (2) The Peace Corps has complied with applicable regulations and procedures; (3) The Peace Corps has followed the requirements of the FCCS as described in this subpart. (b) Once Peace Corps decides to request offset under paragraph (a) of this section, it will make the request as soon as practical after completion of the applicable procedures in order that the fund servicing agency may identify and flag the debtor's account in anticipation of the time when the debtor requests or becomes eligible to receive payments from the fund. This will satisfy any requirements that offset will be initiated prior to expiration of the statute of limitations. (c) If Peace Corps collects part or all of the debt by other means before deductions are made or completed pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section, Peace Corps shall act promptly to modify or terminate its request for offset. (d) This section does not require or authorize the fund servicing agency to review the merits of Peace Corps' determination relative to the debt.
