Sec. 1450.23  Deduction from pay.

    (a) Deduction by salary offset, from an employee's current 
disposable pay, shall be subject to the following conditions:
    (1) Ordinarily, debts to the United States should be collected in 
full, in one lump-sum. This will be done when funds are available. 
However, if funds are unavailable for payment in one lump sum, or if the 
amount of the debt exceeds 15 percent of disposable pay for an 
officially established pay interval, collection will normally be made in 
installments.
    (2) The installments shall not exceed 15 percent of the disposable 
pay from which the deduction is made, unless the employee has agreed in 
writing to the deduction of a greater amount.
    (3) Deduction will generally commence with the next full pay 
interval (ordinarily the next biweekly pay period) following written 
consent by the employee to salary offset, waiver of hearing, or the 
decision issued by the hearing officer.
    (4) Installment deductions must be made over a period not greater 
than the anticipated period of employment except as provided in Sec. 
1450.24.
