Subpart 2132.6 - Contract Debts

FAR 32.607 has no practical application to FEGLI Program contracts. The statutory provisions at 5 U.S.C. 8707 and 8708 authorize joint enrollee and Government contributions to the Employees' Life Insurance Fund. Because the Fund is comprised of contributions by enrollees as well as the Government, contractors may not offset debts to the Fund by a tax credit that is solely a Government obligation.

The clause at FAR 52.232-17 is modified in FEGLI Program contracts to exclude the parenthetical phrase “(net of any applicable tax credit under the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C. 1481)).”
