About this file

This document is a U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Instruction detailing the Treasury Offset Program (TOP) Refunds and Disbursements process for Private Counsel Offices. The instruction establishes policies and procedures for processing refunds when a debtor no longer owes a debt to the United States, covering both manual and automated refund processes.

The document provides comprehensive step-by-step guidance for handling refunds, including determining return processes, processing manual and automated disbursement requests, and correcting civil debt TOP payments. Key procedural steps include reviewing a debtor's financial history, validating overpayments, updating payment information in the Consolidated Debt Collection System (CDCS), and obtaining necessary approvals through multiple levels of review. The instruction includes detailed screenshots and workflows for navigating the CDCS system, and an appendix with an ACH Payment Enrollment Form for electronic fund transfers. The document is part of the DOJ's debt collection management efforts and was approved on September 20, 2013.
