INSTRUCTIONS ON CERTIFICATION OF NON-DELINQUENCY BY APPLICANTS FOR FEDERAL ASSISTANCE
Pursuant to OMB Circular A-129, "Except where required by law or approved by the head of the agency, no award of Federal funds shall be made to an applicant who is delinquent on a Federal debt until the delinquent account is made current or satisfactory arrangements are made between affected agencies and the debtor." The certification of non-delinquency applies only to the organization requesting financial assistance and not to the individual Principal Investigator.
For the purposes of this certification, the following definitions of delinquency apply:
Direct loans--a debt more than 31 days past due on a scheduled payment
Grants--recipients of a "Notice of Grants Cost Disallowance" who have not repaid the disallowed amount or who have not resolved the disallowance
Guaranteed and insured loans--recipients of a loan guaranteed by the Federal Government that the Federal Government has repurchased from a lender because the borrower breached the loan agreement and is in default
Examples of debts include delinquent taxes, audit disallowances, guaranteed and direct student loans, housing loans, farm loans, business loans, Department of Education institutional loans, benefit overpayments and other miscellaneous administrative debts.
