Determining Financial Hardship

Financial hardship is an issue that may occasionally arise and must be considered as part of the repayment negotiation process.

A debtor's contention of financial hardship may mean that either:

  • recovery of the overpayment is reduced to below the normal rate of recovery (see below);

  • recovery of part or all the overpayment is written off for a period of time, until the debtor is in a more financially appropriate situation; or

  • recovery of the debt is waived.

A contention of financial hardship should not immediately mean that an overpayment is written off or waived.  This is only a preliminary part of the process.
