26-36-312. Certification of debt.

(a) Upon final determination, through hearing provided for by this subchapter, of the debt due and owing the claimant agency or upon the debtor's default for failure to contest the claimant agency's right to setoff as provided for in this subchapter, mandating timely request for review of the asserted basis for setoff, the division shall hold for setoff any refund as defined in this subchapter determined to be available to the individual debtor.

(b) Any changes to the original debt certified will be accepted only if the new amount is less than the debt originally certified. Such changes will be forwarded to the division in writing and in a format acceptable to the division. Debtors' names may be deleted from the debt certification listing upon written notice to the division by the claimant agency.

(c) Upon determination that a refund is available to a debtor who has previously been certified as owing a debt to the claimant agency, the division shall finalize the setoff by transferring the refund amount, up to the amount of the debt certified, to the claimant agency and by refunding any remaining balance to the debtor.
