Sec.  9033.9  Failure to comply with disclosure requirements or 
expenditure limitations.

    (a) If the Commission receives information indicating that a 
candidate or his or her authorized committee(s) has knowingly and 
substantially failed to comply with the disclosure requirements of 2 
U.S.C. 434 and 11 CFR part 104, or that a candidate has knowingly and 
substantially exceeded the expenditure limitations at 11 CFR part 9035, 
the Commission may make an initial determination to suspend payments to 
that candidate.
    (b) The Commission will notify the candidate of its initial 
determination in accordance with the procedures outlined in 11 CFR 
9033.10(b). The candidate will be given an opportunity, within 20 
calendar days after service of the Commission's notice, to comply with 
the above cited provisions or to submit in accordance with 11 CFR 
9033.10(b) written legal or factual materials to demonstrate that he or 
she is not in violation of those provisions.
    (c) Suspension of payments to a candidate will occur upon a final 
determination by the Commission to suspend payments. Such final 
determination will be made in accordance with the procedures outlined in 
11 CFR 9033.10(c).
    (d)(1) A candidate whose payments have been suspended for failure to 
comply with reporting requirements may become entitled to receive 
payments if he or she subsequently files the required reports and pays 
or agrees to pay any civil or criminal penalties resulting from failure 
to comply.
    (2) A candidate whose payments are suspended for exceeding the 
expenditure limitations shall not be entitled to receive further 
matching payments under 11 CFR 9034.1.
