Reference. 29 CFR Part 98.100 Background. It has come to DINAP's attention that some section 401 grantees encounter participants who have had financial difficulties with previously obtained Federal education grants and/or student loans. This bulletin conveys Departmental policy with regard to the JTPA eligibility of individuals determined by other agencies to be in default on Federal obligations provided to them for educational/training purposes. Policy. Individuals in default on a government (student) loan or grant may be enrolled as a participant under JTPA if two conditions are met: (1) the individual is otherwise eligible for the particular program applied for; and (2) the individual has not been debarred by another Federal agency for fraudulent activities. Individuals, like organizations, are subject to the debarment and suspension procedures at 29 CFR Part 98, and may not receive any "Federal financial and non-financial assistance and benefits under Federal programs and activities" if debarred. Action. Grantees should handle each such case on an individual basis. When appropriate, grantees should encourage and assist the, applicant in resolving the repayment of the amount in default, but are reminded that JTPA funds cannot be used by the grantee to pay fines or penalties directly. If a participant negotiates a repayment agreement with an agency or financial institution, the grantee may deduct the amount(s) of said payments from amounts otherwise accruing to the participant and transmit those payments to the creditor, just as they would for insurance, child support, or other non-Federal obligations authorized by the participant or ordered by a court.
