Sec. 437.52  Collection of amounts due.

    (a) Any funds paid to a grantee in excess of the amount to which the 
grantee is finally determined to be entitled under the terms of the 
award constitute a debt to the Federal Government. If not paid within a 
reasonable period after demand, SSA may reduce the debt by:
    (1) Making an administrative offset against other requests for 
reimbursements,
    (2) Withholding advance payments otherwise due to the grantee, or
    (3) Other action permitted by law.
    (b) Except where otherwise provided by statutes or regulations, SSA 
will charge interest on an overdue debt in accordance with the Federal 
Claims Collection Standards (4 CFR chapter II). Litigation or the filing 
of any form of appeal does not extend the date from which interest is 
computed.
