The Department may include in the Repayment Agreement any costs and expenses incurred in collecting these amounts, including attorney fees and other litigation and court costs. Repayment shall be completed within one (1) year of the Department's determination of breach in accordance with the written Repayment Agreement.
- (A) The Department, at its sole discretion, may consider extending the repayment term based upon the circumstances leading to the grantee's non-compliance. This extension will not result in a reduction in the return of one hundred percent (100%) of the grant funds paid to the grantee.
- (B) The Department, at its sole discretion, may forgive a proportionate share of the amount to be repaid based upon the grantee's progress made toward achieving the federal requirements of "meaningful use" of electronic health records.
- (C) Grantee must submit a written request to the Department for extension of repayment or forgiveness of a share of repayment. Upon receipt of written request from Grantee, the Department shall review and provide a written decision to the grantee. The decision to approve or deny a request for an extension of repayment or forgiveness of a share of repayment is at the Department's sole discretion.
