(1) Repayment Terms for Breach of Conditions. If an awardee breaches any of the conditions of the awardee contract, EOHHS may require the return of any or all payments, with interest. The interest rate paid by awardee on overpayments is the federal short-term rate determined under the Internal Revenue Code § 6621(b), as amended and in effect for the relevant period plus one percentage point simple interest. (2) Time for Repayment. Any amounts owed pursuant to 101 CMR 31.06 must be repaid within one year of the default. Additional interest will accrue during periods when money is owed. (3) Awardee Contracts. The awardee contracts may specify further terms for repayment after the breach of condition. (4) Collection and Reporting. EOHHS may take any lawful steps to collect on amounts owed or report debts to credit reporting agencies.
