SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Pursuant to the Debt Collection
Improvement Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–
134) and the Improper Payments
Elimination and Recovery Act of 2010
(Pub. L. 111–204), as implemented by
31 CFR Part 901, 31 CFR 902.2, and 6
CFR Part 11, FEMA is required to
recover funds improperly paid
(overpayments). On March 15, 2011,
FEMA published a notice in the Federal
Register (76 FR 14039) that announced
FEMA’s recoupment process for
collecting overpayments (debts) made in
delivering temporary housing and other
disaster-related individual assistance.
This process provides individuals an
opportunity to appeal a FEMA debt
determination and, in some cases, to
request an oral hearing.
Some members of Congress expressed
concern about the fairness of FEMA
collecting overpayments from disaster
survivors when the overpayment was
the result of FEMA error and where a
significant amount of time had elapsed
before FEMA provided actual notice of
the debt. As a result of these concerns,
Congress passed, and the President
signed, the Disaster Assistance
Recoupment Fairness Act of 2011 (Pub.
L. 112–74) (DARFA). Pursuant to
DARFA, FEMA may determine to waive
a debt arising from improper payments
provided to disaster survivors for
VerDate Mar<15>2010
14:46 Feb 10, 2012
Jkt 226001
disasters declared between August 28,
2005 and December 31, 2010 if:
(1) The debt does not involve fraud,
the presentation of a false claim, or
misrepresentation by the debtor or any
party having an interest in the claim;
and
(2) The assistance was distributed
based on FEMA error; and
(3) There was no fault on behalf of the
debtor; and
(4) The collection of the debt would
be ‘‘against equity and good
conscience.’’
(5) In addition, if all four conditions
above are met but the debtor’s Adjusted
Gross Income (AGI) is greater than
$90,000, FEMA may approve no more
than a partial waiver.
FEMA may determine it would be
against equity and good conscience to
collect a debt where collection would
cause serious financial hardship; where
the debtor has spent the overpayment
for the reason it was provided or other
disaster related needs and has no
present ability to reclaim the funds;
more than 36 months have elapsed
between the time FEMA awarded the
assistance and the date final notification
was provided to the debtor of the debt;
and/or other personal circumstances
exist where collection would be
unconscionable.
If FEMA determines to waive a debt
pursuant to the authority provided in
DARFA, the debt will cease to exist,
FEMA will cease further debt collection
activity with respect to the debt waived,
and reimburse any payments or fees
previously paid on the debt. If FEMA
determines that a debt is not waived, the
debtor will be notified of payment
options.
DARFA is a time-limited authority
that only applies to very particular debts
arising from FEMA individual
assistance overpayments for specific
disaster events. It is thus extraordinary
authority and the waiver process that
results from it does not apply to debts
arising from delivery of any other FEMA
or other Federal assistance program.
