# §26.56. Right to administrative offset.


The amount of any penalty or assessment that has become final under [§ 26.50](/cfr/24/26.50.md) or [§ 26.52](/cfr/24/26.52.md), or for which a judgment has been entered after action under [§ 26.54](/cfr/24/26.54.md) or [§ 26.55](/cfr/24/26.55.md), or agreed upon in a compromise or settlement among the parties, may be collected by administrative offset under [31 U.S.C. 3716](/usc/31/3716.md) or other applicable law. In Program Fraud Civil Remedies Act matters, an administrative offset may not be collected against a refund of an overpayment of federal taxes then or later owing by the United States to the Respondent.
