Sec. 34.22  Written agreement to repay as alternative to salary offset.

    (a) Notification by employee. The employee may propose, in response 
to the notice of intent to offset, a written agreement to repay the debt 
as an alternative to salary offset. The proposal shall admit the 
existence of the debt and set forth a proposed repayment schedule. Any 
employee who wishes to do this must submit a proposed written agreement 
to repay the debt which is received by STATE within 30 calendar days of 
the notice.
    (b) STATE's response. STATE will notify the employee whether the 
proposed written agreement for repayment is acceptable. It is within 
STATE's discretion to accept a repayment agreement instead of proceeding 
by offset.
    (c) Procedures. If the employee and STATE enter into a written 
agreement to repay instead of salary offset, the debt will be repaid in 
accordance with the agreement provisions and the procedures of 
Sec. 34.23 will not apply.
