A claimant local government, or its member organization on its behalf, seeking to collect a debt through setoff shall notify the department in writing and supply information necessary to identify the debtor whose refund is sought to be setoff. The local government, or its member organization, shall notify the department in writing within sixty (60) days of when a debt of which the department has previously been noticed has been paid or is no longer owed to it. The department, upon receipt of notification, shall determine each year whether the debtor to the claimant local government is entitled to a refund of at least Fifty Dollars ($50.00) from the department. Upon determination by the department that a debtor specified by a claimant local government qualifies for such a refund, the department shall set off the debt against the refund to which the debtor would otherwise be entitled and shall refund any remaining balance to the debtor. The department shall mail the debtor written notice that the setoff has occurred and shall credit the net proceeds collected to the claimant local government, after deducting the total collection assistance fee owed to the department and the member organization.
