29 C.F.R. § 1650.305 Agency review.
Title 29 - Labor
(a) A debtor may dispute the existence of the debt, the amount of the debt, or the terms of repayment. The request to review the disputed debt must be received by the Director of the Financial Management Division within 30 calendar days of the debtor's receipt of the pre-offset notice. (b) If the debtor requests an opportunity to inspect or copy the Commission's records concerning the debt, then the debtor will have 10 business days from the date of inspection or from receipt of the mailed documents for review. (c) Pending review of the disputed debt, transactions in any of the debtor's account(s) maintained in the Commission may be temporarily suspended to the extent of the debt that is owed. Depending on the type of transaction, the suspension could preclude payment, withdrawal, or transfer, as well as prevent the payment of interest or discount due thereon. Should the dispute be resolved in the debtor's favor, the suspension will be lifted immediately. (d) During the review period, interest, penalties, and administrative costs authorized under the Federal Claims Collection Act of 1966, as amended (31 U.S.C. 3711), will continue to accrue.
