Sec. 105-56.002  Excluded debts or claims.

    This subpart does not apply to the following:
    (a) Debts or claims arising under the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 
as amended (26 U.S.C. 1 et seq.), the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 301 
et seq.), or the tariff laws of the United States.
    (b) Any case where collection of a debt by salary offset is 
explicitly provided for or prohibited by another statute. Debt 
collection procedures under other statutory authorities, however, must 
be consistent with the provisions of the Federal Claims Collection 
Standards, defined at paragraph (h) of Sec. 105-56.003.
    (c) An employee election of coverage or of a change of coverage 
under a Federal benefits program that requires periodic deductions from 
pay if the amount to be recovered was accumulated over four pay periods 
or less. However, if the amount to be recovered was accumulated over 
more than four pay periods, the procedures under Sec. 105-56.004 of 
this subpart will apply.
    (d) Routine adjustment in pay or allowances that is made to correct 
an overpayment of pay attributable to clerical or administrative errors 
or delays in processing pay documents, if the overpayment occurred 
within the four pay periods preceding the adjustment and, at the time of 
the adjustment, or as soon after as possible, the employee is provided 
written notice of the nature and amount of the adjustment.
    (e) Any adjustment to collect a debt amounting to $50 or less, if, 
at the time of the adjustment, or as soon after as possible, the 
employee is given written notice of the nature and amount of the 
adjustment and a point of contact for contesting the adjustment.
    (f) Debts or claims arising from the accrual of unpaid Health 
Benefits Insurance (HBI) premiums as the result of an employee's 
election to continue health insurance coverage during periods of leave 
without pay (LWOP), or when pay is insufficient to cover premiums. Debt 
collection procedures for unpaid HBI are covered under 5 CFR part 890, 
Subpart E.
