The Treasury Offset Program is

one of the methods used to collect

delinquent debt. FMS uses the program

to withhold Federal payments, such as

Federal income tax refunds, Federal

salary payments, and Social Security

benef‌its, to recipients with delinquent

debts, including past-due child support

obligations and State and Federal income

tax debt.

Electronic Commerce Through its

electronic money programs, FMS offers

new payment and collection technologies

using the Internet and card technologies

to help Federal agencies modernize their

cash management activities. Examples

include stored-value cards used on

military bases, point-of-sale check

conversion, and Internet credit card

collection programs.

Payments Each year, FMS disburses

more than 1 billion non-Defense

payments, totaling nearly $2.3 trillion,

to a wide variety of recipients, such as

those individuals who receive Social

Security, IRS tax refunds, and veterans’

benef‌its. For f‌iscal year 2009, nearly 81

percent of these payments were issued

electronically. FMS issues the remainder

of its payments, nearly 197 million

annually, by check.
