Sec. 200.735-110  Indebtedness.

    An employee shall pay each just financial obligation in a proper and 
timely manner, especially one imposed by law such as Federal, State or 
local taxes. For the purpose of this section a just financial obligation 
means one acknowledged by the employee or reduced to judgment by a 
court, and in a proper and timely manner means in a manner which the 
Commission determines does not, under the circumstances, reflect 
adversely on the Government as his employer. In the event of a dispute 
between an employee and an alleged creditor, the Commission shall make 
no determination of the validity or amount of the disputed debt.
