# §3.73. Determination of indebtedness.

- (a) In determining that an employee is indebted to USDA and that 31 CFR parts [900](/cfr/31/part900.md) through [904](/cfr/31/part904.md) have been satisfied and that salary offset is appropriate, USDA will review the debt to make sure that it is valid and past due.
- (b) If USDA determines that any of the requirements of [paragraph (a)](#a) of this section have not been met, no determination of indebtedness will be made and salary offset will not proceed until USDA is assured that the requirements have been met.
