Sec. 1.1929  Deduction from pay.

    (a) Deduction by salary offset, from an employee's current 
disposable pay, shall be subject to the following conditions:
    (1) Ordinarily, debts to the United States should be collected in 
full, in one lump sum. This will be done when funds are available for 
payment in one lump sum, or, if the amount of the debt exceeds 15 
percent of disposable pay for an officially established pay interval, 
collection will normally be made in installments.
    (2) The installments shall not exceed 15 percent of the disposable 
pay from which the deduction is made, unless the employee has agreed in 
writing to the deduction of a greater amount.
    (3) Deduction will generally commence with the next full pay 
interval (ordinarily the next biweekly pay period) following the date: 
of the employee's written consent to salary offset, the waiver of 
hearing, or the decision issued by the hearing officer.
    (4) Installment deductions must be made over a period not greater 
than the anticipated period of employment except as provided in 
Sec. 1.1930.
    (b) [Reserved]
