Sec.  92.13  Request for hearing.

    (a) The employee shall be advised in the notification that a hearing 
may be requested by filing a written petition within 15 calendar days of 
receipt of the notification, addressed to the chief of the paying 
agency's accounting or finance office.
    (b) The petition shall state the grounds upon which the employee 
disputes the proposed collection of the alleged debt. The petition shall 
identify and explain with reasonable specificity the facts, evidence 
which, and witnesses who the employee believes support his or her 
position.
    (c) The timely filing of a petition for hearing shall stay any 
further collection proceedings. A decision by the administrative law 
judge or other hearing official (see Sec.  92.5(j)) will be issued at 
the earliest practical date, but no later than 60 days after the filing 
of a petition for hearing, unless a delay is granted at the request of 
the employee.
