NAC353C.100. Request to offset debt; payment of debtor after notification of interception.

     1. If an agency requests that the State Controller place a hold on payments to a person who owes a debt to the agency, the agency may, upon receiving notification from the State Controller that such a payment has been intercepted, submit to the State Controller a request to offset any amount due the agency from the debtor against any amount due the debtor from any agency. The request to offset the amount shall be deemed an assignment of a debt to the State Controller for collection pursuant to NRS 353C.195.

     2. The request must be submitted in the format provided by the State Controller.

     3. The agency shall verify and certify the accuracy of the name and address of the debtor and the amount of the debt and shall immediately notify the State Controller if the agency discovers that any of the information is incorrect.

     4. If an agency has requested that the State Controller place a hold on payments to a debtor and such a payment is intercepted, any agency that receives notification pursuant to NAC 353C.110 that the payment has been intercepted and is being held for potential offset shall not attempt to pay that debtor using a different vendor number or by any other form of payment, unless authorized by the State Controller or the agency that requested the hold on payments to the debtor.
