{"data":{"id":"us/22-cfr-213.24","jurisdiction":"us","citation":"22 CFR 213.24","heading":"General.","body":"The CFO may compromise claims for money or property when the principal balance of a claim, exclusive of interest, penalties, and administrative costs, does not exceed $100,000. Where the claim exceeds $100,000, the authority to accept the compromise rests with DOJ. The CFO may reject an offer of compromise in any amount. DOJ's approval is not required if the Agency rejects a compromise offer. When the claim exceeds $100,000 and the CFO recommends acceptance of a compromise offer, he or she will refer the claim with his or her recommendation to DOJ for approval. The referral may be in the form of the Claims-Collection Litigation Report (CCLR) and will outline the basis for USAID's recommendation. USAID refers compromise offers for claims in excess of $100,000 to the Commercial Litigation Branch of the Civil Division of the Department of Justice, Washington, DC 20530, unless otherwise provided by DOJ's delegations or procedures.","path":["Title 22—Foreign Relations","CHAPTER II—AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT","PART 213—CLAIMS COLLECTION","Subpart D—Compromise of Claims"],"source_url":"https://www.ecfr.gov/api/versioner/v1/full/2026-08-25/title-22.xml","current_through":"2026-08-25","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-08-27T02:24:49Z","sha256":"d0169b384bfa324a055c0f86c81bdd7db829dbd673eb2c7eb0f25f9bc7da557f","source_id":"us-cfr","stale":true,"prev":"us/22-cfr-213.23","next":"us/22-cfr-213.25"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
