The Board will be the point of contact with the Department of the Treasury for administrative matters regarding the offset program.
The Board will ensure that the procedures prescribed by the Department of the Treasury are followed in developing information about past-due debts and submitting the debts to the IRS.
The Board will submit a notification of a taxpayer's liability for past-due legally enforceable debt to the Department of the Treasury which will contain:
The name and taxpayer identifying number (as defined in section 6109 of the Internal Revenue Code, 26 U.S.C. 6109) of the person who is responsible for the debt;
The dollar amount of the past-due and legally enforceable debt;
The date on which the original debt became past due;
A statement certifying that, with respect to each debt reported, all of the requirements of eligibility of the debt for referral for the refund offset have been satisfied. See § 1639.40(b).
The Board shall promptly notify the Department of the Treasury to correct Board data submitted when it:
Determines that an error has been made with respect to a debt that has been referred;
Receives or credits a payment on the debt; or
Receives notice that the person owing the debt has filed for bankruptcy under Title 11 of the United States Code or has been adjudicated bankrupt and the debt has been discharged.
When advising debtors of an intent to refer a debt to the Department of the Treasury for offset, the Board will also advise the debtors of all remedial actions available to defer or prevent the offset from taking place.
