The contractor enters the total number and amount of delinquent receivables. It enters the
amount of the past due payment unless the full amount is normally due and declared
payable. The debt becomes delinquent the day following the date that the debt is due with
all extensions recognized. Thus, for non-MSP if the debt is due 30 days after demand, the
first day of delinquency starts on day 31. For MSP, if the debt is due 60 days after
demand, the first day of delinquency starts on day 61. If any portion of a debt has been
delinquent more than 180 days, the entire amount is reported as delinquent. The
contractor enters the amount of receivables that are delinquent for the respective periods
(a through i) indicated.
