Section 17:43-1.6 - Treasury action following notice of prize withholding

(a) No later than 20 days from the date of the notice to the debtor, the Higher Education Student Assistance Authority (HESAA) shall notify the Department of the Treasury (Treasury) and the Division of State Lottery of any request by the debtor for a hearing, of the failure of the debtor to make such request or of the satisfaction of the debt. Such information shall allow Treasury to:

1. Maintain the account on a hold status if a hearing has been requested;

2. Transmit the debt to HESAA, where the debtor has not made a timely request for a hearing or where a hearing request is made but subsequently withdrawn; or

3. Release the prize check to the winner if the debt has been satisfied.

(b) Treasury shall extend the hold status of an affected check following notification from HESAA that a hearing has been requested pursuant to 17:43-1.7 and until a final decision has been rendered by HESAA (including any appeal which may be taken by the debtor). If the request for the hearing is withdrawn, the provisions of (a)2 and 3 above shall apply.
