Justice Manual § 4-11.500
Enforced Collections
When a debtor fails to respond to the postjudgment demand letter or to cure a default on the terms of an established payment plan, steps shall be taken to initiate enforced collection proceedings as soon as practicable thereafter. The rights and remedies available to the United States, and exemptions available to the debtor, under the Federal Debt Collection Procedures Act, 28 U.S.C. §§ 3001-3308, should be considered in determining the most efficient and effective means to satisfy the judgment.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
