Sec. 204.39  Written decision.

    (a) If pre-offset hearing is held. Within 60 days of the filing of 
the employee's petition for a pre-offset hearing, the hearing official 
will issue a written decision setting forth the basis of his/her 
findings in accordance with 5 CFR 550.1104(g)(3).
    (b) If the employee challenges the pre-offset notice under 
Sec. 204.34, Employee response and/or Sec. 204.35, Petition for pre-
offset hearing, without requesting a hearing or a hearing is denied, the 
program official must notify the employee of his/her final determination 
in writing before offset can begin. The agency's execution of a 
voluntary repayment agreement satisfies this requirement.
