Sec. 3.62  Procedures for salary offset: When deductions may begin.

    (a) Deductions to liquidate an employee's debt will be by the method 
and in the amount stated in the Secretary's Notice of Intent to collect 
from the employee's current pay.
    (b) If the employee filed a petition for a hearing with the 
Secretary before the expiration of the period provided for in Sec. 3.56 
then deductions will begin after the hearing officer has provided the 
employee with a hearing, and a final written decision has been rendered 
in favor of the Secretary.
    (c) If an employee retires or resigns before collection of the 
amount of the indebtedness is completed, the remaining indebtedness will 
be collected according to the procedures for administrative offset (see 
subpart B of this part).
