Sec. 263.10  What are the payback reporting requirements?

    (a) Notice of intent. Participants shall submit to the Secretary, 
within 30 days of completion of their training program, a written notice 
of intent to complete a work-related or cash payback, or to continue in 
a degree program as a full-time student.
    (b) Work-related payback. If the participant proposes a work-related 
payback, the written notice of intent shall include information 
explaining how the work-related service is related to the training 
received and how it benefits Indian people.
    (1) For work-related service, the Secretary shall review each 
participant's payback plan to determine if the work-related service is 
related to the training received and that it benefits Indian people. The 
Secretary approves the payback plan if a determination is made that the 
work-related service to be performed is related to the training received 
and benefits Indian people, meets all applicable statutory and 
regulatory requirements, and is otherwise appropriate.
    (2) The payback plan for work-related service shall identify where, 
when, the type of service, and for whom the work will be performed.
    (3) A participant shall notify the Secretary in writing of any 
change in the work-related service being performed within 30 days of 
such change.

    (4) For work-related payback, individuals shall submit a status 
report every six months beginning from the date the work-related service 
is to begin. The reports shall include a certification from the 
participant's employer that the service(s) have been performed without 
interruption.
    (5) For participants that initiate, but cannot complete, a work-
related payback, the payback reverts to a cash payback that is prorated 
based upon the amount of time the work-related payback has been 
completed.
    (c) Cash payback. If a cash payback is to be made, the Department 
will contact the participant to establish an appropriate schedule for 
payments.
