Section 910.50  Actions by Board

If receivables become subject to its jurisdiction, the Debt Collection Board will take one of the following actions:

a)         Return the receivables to the applicable State agency with:

1)         directions for additional collection efforts by the agency; and

2)         instructions on how the agency should report the status of its efforts to the Board;

b)         Refer the receivables to one of the Board's outside collection vendors;

c)         Refer the receivables to the Attorney General for collection (this action may be taken only if the amount is greater than $1,000);

d)        Certify the receivables as uncollectable.  Unpaid receivables should not automatically be removed from the Comptroller's Offset System when certified as uncollectable by either the Attorney General or the Debt Collection Board.  Debts should only be removed from the Offset System if covered by the automatic stay or a discharge in bankruptcy, or if the debtor is an individual who is deceased or the debtor is a corporation that has been dissolved by the state of incorporation.  If system coding enhancements or adjustments are necessary to track these receivables, the agency will be required to be in compliance by July 1, 2003.
