Abstract: Information is used to determine an individual's entitlement to relief from a claim owed the U.S. Government. Government claims examiners use information provided to determine whether there is indication of fraud, misrepresentation, and fault on the part of the individual, or whether it's in the best interest of the government to collect debt. The information collected on this form will be used by the DFAS to determine whether there is indication of fraud, misrepresentation, fault, or lack of good faith, and whether it is in the best interest of the United States to forgive the debt. It will also be used to determine if a debtor should have been reasonably aware of the overpayment when it occurred.
