Note to subpart A: Use of pronouns “I”, “you”, and their variants throughout this subpart refers to the employee. Yes, upon written request from the contractor, your agency may collect, from your disposable pay, any undisputed delinquent amounts that you owe to a Government travel charge card contractor. Disposable pay is your compensation remaining after the deduction from your earnings of any amounts required by law to be withheld. These deductions do not include discretionary deductions such as savings bonds, charitable contributions, etc. Deductions may be made from any type of pay you receive from your agency, e.g., basic pay, special pay, retirement pay, or incentive pay. [FTR Amdt. 92, 65 FR 21366, Apr. 21, 2000] Note to subpart B: Use of pronouns “I”, “you”, and their variants throughout this subpart refers to the employee. Yes, your agency must: (a) Provide you with written notice of the type and amount of the claim, the intention to collect the claim by deduction from your disposable pay, and an explanation of your rights as a debtor; (b) Give you the opportunity to inspect and copy their records related to the claim; (c) Allow an opportunity for a review within the agency of its decision to collect the amount; and (d) Provide you with an opportunity to make a written agreement with the contractor to repay the delinquent amount of the claim. No, your agency may only collect undisputed delinquent amounts for which you have been reimbursed under the applicable travel regulations. However, if you have not submitted a proper travel claim within the timeframe requirements of §301–52.7 of this chapter, and there are no extenuating circumstances, your agency may collect the undisputed delinquent amounts based on the amounts charged on the travel charge card. As set forth in Public Law 105–264, 112 Stat. 2350, October 19, 1998, the maximum amount your agency may deduct from your disposable pay is 15 percent a pay period, unless you agree in writing to a larger percentage.
