Such information shall include certification of the amount of overpayment which has been determined by final agency action or has been ordered by a court as restitution or has been reduced to judgment.

(b) Such information shall also include the name and the social security number of the person obligated to the state for the overpayment, the amount of same, and any other identifying information required by the department of revenue.

(2) As a condition of certifying an overpayment to the department of revenue as provided in subsection (1) of this section, the state department shall ensure that the obligated person has been afforded the opportunity for a conference at the county department level pursuant to section 26-2-127 or 25.5-4-207, C.R.S., and the opportunity for an appeal to the state department pursuant to section 26-2-127 or 26-2-304. In addition, the state department, prior to final certification of the information specified in subsection (1) of this section to the department of revenue, shall notify the obligated person, in writing, at his last known address, that the state intends to refer the person's name to the department of revenue in an attempt to offset the obligation against the person's state income tax refund.

In addition, the notice shall specify issues that may be raised at an evidentiary conference or on appeal, as provided by this subsection (2), by the obligated person in objecting to the offset and shall specify that the obligated person may not object to the fact that an overpayment occurred. A person who has received a notice pursuant to this subsection (2) shall request, within thirty days from the date such notice was mailed, an administrative review or evidentiary conference, as provided in this subsection (2).
