3. Release the prize check to the winner if the debt has been satisfied.

(b) Treasury shall extend the hold status of an affected check following notification from HESAA that a hearing has been requested pursuant to 17:43-1.7 and until a final decision has been rendered by HESAA (including any appeal which may be taken by the debtor). If the request for the hearing is withdrawn, the provisions of (a)2 and 3 above shall apply.
