PART 105-55_COLLECTION OF CLAIMS OWED THE UNITED STATES--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 105-55.022  Joint and several liability.

    (a) When two or more debtors are jointly and severally liable, the 
General Services Administration (GSA) may pursue collection activity 
against all debtors, as appropriate. GSA will not attempt to allocate 
the burden of payment between the debtors but will proceed to liquidate 
the indebtedness as quickly as possible.
    (b) GSA will ensure that a compromise agreement with one debtor does 
not release the Agency's claim against the remaining debtors. The amount 
of a compromise with one debtor will not be considered a precedent or 
binding in determining the amount that will be required from other 
debtors jointly and severally liable on the claim.
