29.520—Referral for litigation.
The Department may refer to the Justice
Department for litigation overpayment debts which
cannot be compromised or waived, or on which
collection activity cannot be suspended or
terminated, and which the Department has been
unable to recover pursuant to the collection
activity described in § 29.511 through § 29.519.
(See 31 CFR part 904.) Such debts should be
referred to the Justice Department as early as
possible, but at least within 1 year of the date
such debts last became delinquent. In the case of
overpayments arising from fraud,
misrepresentation, or the presentation of a false
claim, referral should be made to the Justice
Department immediately. (See 31 CFR 900.3(a).)
Referral of a debt to the Justice Department will
suspend processing under § 29.511 through § 29.519
of this subpart.
