Transmission of Debt

70.12 - Transmission of Debt (Rev. 11787; Issued:01-19-23; Effective: 04-21-23; Implementation:04-21-23) Prior to the weekly transmission of debts to Treasury, the contractor shall certify its debts by the close of business on the day before transmission. When CMS transmits debts to Treasury, CMS shall generate an CMS Debt Management (CMSDM) Outbound Debt Referral Report that will list the debts transmitted that week. The contractor utilizing HIGLAS shall use the appropriate responsibility to retrieve the report that will list its debts only. The contractor not utilizing HIGLAS shall update its internal systems with the debts’ transmission status and send a transmitted debt report to CMS with 15 business days. The contractors shall review the reports to ensure that debts transmitted remain valid and amounts are accurate.
