# §422.301. Scope of this subpart.

- (a) Except as provided in paragraphs [(b)](#b) and [(c)](#c) of this section, this subpart describes the procedures relating to collection of:
  - (1) Overdue administrative debts, and
  - (2) Overdue program overpayments described in §§ [404.527](/cfr/20/404.527.md) and [416.590](/cfr/20/416.590.md) of this chapter.
- (b) This subpart does not apply to administrative debts owed by employees of the Social Security Administration, including, but not limited to, overpayment of pay and allowances.
- (c) The following exceptions apply only to Federal salary offset as described in [§ 422.310(a)(1)](/cfr/20/422.310.md?p=a-1).
  - (1) We will not use this subpart to collect a debt while the debtor's disability benefits are stopped during the reentitlement period, under [§ 404.1592a(a)(2)](/cfr/20/404.1592a.md?p=a-2) of this chapter, because the debtor is engaging in substantial gainful activity.
  - (2) We will not use this subpart to collect a debt while the debtor's Medicare entitlement is continued because the debtor is deemed to be entitled to disability benefits under section 226(b) of the Social Security Act ([42 U.S.C. 426(b)](/usc/42/426.md?p=b)).
  - (3) We will not use this subpart to collect a debt if the debtor has decided to participate in the Ticket to Work and Self-Sufficiency Program and the debtor's ticket is in use as described in [§§ 411.170 through 411.225](/cfr/20/411.170..411.225.md) of this chapter.
