Abstract:
FEMA may request debtors to provide personal financial information on FEMA Form 127-0-1 concerning their current financial position. With this information, FEMA evaluates whether to allow its debtors to pay their FEMA debts under installment repayment agreements and if so, under what terms. FEMA also uses this data to determine whether to compromise, suspend, or completely terminate collection efforts on respondent's debts. This data is also used to locate the debtor's assets if the debts are sent for judicial enforcement.

Short Statement:
In an effort to collect erroneous overpayments to individuals, FEMA is making a greater effort to provide installment agreements to those with debts to the agency but who are financially unable to pay their debts in a single payment. There have been some changes in the information being collected using FEMA Form 127-0-1. The decrease in the annual hour burden is due to a policy change which enables FEMA Debt Collectors to verbally negotiate payment plans by telephone. The program updated their Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) in 2016, in which the procedures changed and required a little more information. Therefore, changes were made to FEMA Form 127-0-1. See Forms Revision Chart and Debt Resolution SOP.
