# §1073.301. Scope.

- (a) These salary offset regulations should be read in conjunction with 5 U.S.C. [5514](/usc/5/5514.md) and [5](/usc/5/5.md) CFR [part 550](/cfr/12/part550.md), [subpart K](/cfr/12/subpartK.md), and apply to the collection of debts owed by employees of the Bureau or other Federal agencies.
- (b) **These salary offset procedures do not apply—**
  - (1) Where an employee consents to the recovery of a debt from his current pay account;
  - (2) To debts arising under the Internal Revenue Code ([Title 26](/cfr/26.md), U.S. Code), the tariff laws of the United States, or to any case where collection of a debt by salary offset is explicitly provided for or prohibited by another statute.
- (c) These procedures do not preclude an employee from requesting a waiver of an erroneous payment under [5 U.S.C. 5584](/usc/5/5584.md), or from questioning the amount or validity of a debt, in the manner specified by law or these agency regulations. This subpart also does not preclude an employee from requesting waiver of the collection of a debt under any other applicable statutory authority.
- (d) When possible, salary offset through centralized administrative offset procedures should be attempted before seeking salary offset from a paying agency different than the creditor agency.
