Reporting Non-Tax Withholding Due to Federal Payment Levy Program (FPLP)
The purpose of this CR is to instruct the HIGLAS contractors and Shared
System Maintainers to make the necessary programming changes to notify the payee that a non-tax debt
subject to FPLP is owed; an amount was withheld from their payment; and to instruct the payee to contact
the FMS/Treasury regarding questions associated with the reduction. Due to current privacy rules and
regulations, only the FMS/Treasury may discuss the non-tax debt issue with the payee.
