Employee Debt Management

Automated Billing and Debt Collection

NFC offers an automated database management system that provides a method for billing and collection of outstanding debts from Federal employees (current, separated or retired) having outstanding debts with the Government.

Our Automated Billings and Collections (ABCO) system interfaces with the Payroll/Personnel System (PPS), Document Tracking System (DOTS), Special Payroll Processing System (SPPS), and Travel systems. This integration between systems provides a comprehensive approach that allows our customers to monitor debts and track collections until the debts are resolved. Bills may be established in ABCO for collection for:

• Overpayments, erroneous payments, and/or duplicate payments that are processed in NFC’s PPS.
• Other employee-related debts, such as damage to Government Property or failure to return Government Property.
• Voluntary collections received.

Centralized Offset Program

NFC’s centralized offset program allows for the collection of delinquent debts owed to Federal agencies and states. Our Administrative Billings and Collections System (ABCO) interfaces with the Treasury Offset Program (TOP). This interface not only allows NFC to facilitate the collection of debts through our Payroll/Personnel System (PPS) but also provides our customers with the ability to run reports on the amount collected each pay period.
