of completion of their training program, a written notice of intent to 

complete a work-related or cash payback, or to continue in a degree 

program as a full-time student.

    (b) Work-related payback. If the participant proposes a work-related 

payback, the written notice of intent shall include information 

explaining how the work-related service is related to the training 

received and how it benefits Indian people.

    (1) For work-related service, the Secretary shall review each 

participant's payback plan to determine if the work-related service is 

related to the training received and that it benefits Indian people. The 

Secretary approves the payback plan if a determination is made that the 

work-related service to be performed is related to the training received 

and benefits Indian people, meets all applicable statutory and 

regulatory requirements, and is otherwise appropriate.

    (2) The payback plan for work-related service shall identify where, 

when, the type of service, and for whom the work will be performed.

    (3) A participant shall notify the Secretary in writing of any 

change in the work-related service being performed within 30 days of 

such change.

    (4) For work-related payback, individuals shall submit a status 

report every six months beginning from the date the work-related service 

is to begin. The reports shall include a certification from the 

participant's employer that the service(s) have been performed without 

interruption.

    (5) For participants that initiate, but cannot complete, a work-

related payback, the payback reverts to a cash payback that is prorated 

based upon the amount of time the work-related payback has been 

completed.

    (c) Cash payback. If a cash payback is to be made, the Department 

will contact the participant to establish an appropriate schedule for 

payments.
