Sec. 400.135  Written agreement to repay debt as an alternative to salary offset.

    The employee may propose, in response to a notice of intent, a 
written agreement to repay the debt as an alternative to salary offset. 
The proposed written agreement to repay the debt must be received by the 
FCIC official within 30 calendar days of the date of the notice of 
intent. The FCIC official will notify the employee whether the 
employee's proposed written agreement for repayment is acceptable. The 
FCIC official may accept a repayment agreement instead of proceeding by 
offset. In making this determination, the FCIC official will balance the 
FCIC interest in collecting the debt against hardship to the employee. 
If the debt is delinquent and the employee has not disputed its 
existence or amount, the FCIC official will accept a repayment 
agreement, instead of offset, for good cause such as, if the employee 
establishes that offset would result in undue financial hardship, or 
would be against equity and good conscience.
