46. Any person owing an amount under this Act shall pay the amount within ten days after receipt of a demand for payment from the Minister.
However, the Minister may enter into a written agreement with such a person to establish the terms and conditions of payment of the amount owed. The Minister shall, in the case of a debtor of support, inform the creditor of support thereof.
Before entering into such an agreement, the Minister may require of the person that he file any document or information which establishes his financial situation and that he report on any steps he has taken to obtain a loan or security from a financial institution.
If the terms of the agreement are not complied with, the agreement lapses.
