DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Office of the Secretary
Notice of Interest Rate on Overdue Debts
Section 30.18 of the Department of Health and Human Services'
claims collection regulations (45 CFR part 30) provides that the
Secretary shall charge an annual rate of interest, which is determined
and fixed by the Secretary of the Treasury after considering private
consumer rates of interest on the date that the Department of Health
and Human Services becomes entitled to recovery. The rate cannot be
lower than the Department of Treasury's current value of funds rate or
the applicable rate determined from the ``Schedule of Certified
Interest Rates with Range of Maturities'' unless the Secretary waives
interest in whole or part, or a different rate is prescribed by
statute, contract, or repayment agreement. The Secretary of the
Treasury may revise this rate quarterly. The Department of Health and
Human Services publishes this rate in the Federal Register.
The current rate of 11\1/8\%, as fixed by the Secretary of the
Treasury, is certified for the quarter ended September 30, 2025; 11\5/
8\% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025; and 11\3/8\% for the
quarter ended March 31, 2026. This rate is based on the Interest Rates
for Specific Legislation, ``National Health Services Corps Scholarship
Program (42 U.S.C. 254o(b)(1)(A))'' and ``National Research Service
Award Program (42 U.S.C. 288(c)(4)(B)).'' This interest rate will be
applied to overdue debt until the Department of Health and Human
Services publishes a revision.
Yianting Lee,
Acting Director, Office of Financial Policy and Reporting.
