The Division of Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation (DEEOIC) will no longer accept payments made voluntarily by mail without the submission of a corrected bill first. All providers must submit an adjustment, or corrected bill to ensure that the overpayment created is properly reflected as an account receivable by DEEOIC. Once the account receivable is established, providers will receive a debt letter and instructions on how to service the account receivable from the Treasury’s Centralized Receivables Service (CRS). CRS helps federal agencies collect money that individuals, businesses, and states owe the agency (accounts receivable). CRS focuses on collecting money when it is first due or only slightly overdue, before the account is considered delinquent. Once a debt is delinquent (Over 60 days) the account will transfer to Treasury’s Cross-Servicing program for additional collection activity.
