DCIA Aging and Compliance Data Requirements for Guaranty Agencies
(GAs).
The Department is required to report to the U.S. Department of the
Treasury (Treasury) the status and condition of its non-tax debt
portfolio in accordance with the requirements of the Debt Collection
Improvement Act of 1996 (DCIA) and the Digital Accountability and
Transparency Act of 2014 (DATA Act). Receivable information is reported
to Treasury via the Treasury Report on Receivables and Debt Collection
Activities (previously called the TROR).
The Department is unable to prepare an accurate and compliant
Treasury Report without additional data from its GAs. The continuing
guidance requires the GAs to submit to the Department: age debt
according to DCIA; report the eligibility of DCIA-aged debt for
referral to the Treasury Offset Program (TOP); and report compliance
with Form 1099-C reporting.
Neither the regulations or the data requirements have changed since
the last extension of this ICR in 2023.
Ross Santy,
Chief Data Officer, Office of Planning, Evaluation and Policy
Development.
