Part 33 - TAX REFUND INTERCEPT BY NEW MEXICO HIGHER EDUCATION DEPARTMENT
Section 5.7.33.15 - EXHIBIT B

Because a judgment for an educational loan debt has been filed against your spouse, your name has been referred to the New Mexico state taxation and revenue department for collection of this obligation. Any tax refund to which you may be entitled may be retained in full or partial satisfaction of this obligation. This action applies because you filed jointly for an income tax refund with a spouse who owes the obligation. No debt is claimed against you, however, and you may be entitled to receive all or part of the refund regardless of the claimed judgment balance against your spouse. This action involving the taxation and revenue department is authorized by the Tax Refund Intercept Program Act, Sections 7-2C-1 through 7-2C-13 NMSA 1978.

Our records show $_____________________ total unpaid judgment balance, including principal, accrued interest, costs and attorney's fees as of _______________, 20___.
