(a) Obligated service
Where an individual enters into an agreement for obligated
service in return for financial assistance under any provision of
this chapter, the Secretary shall adopt such regulations as are
necessary to provide for the offer of employment to the recipient
of such assistance as required by such provision. Where an offer of
employment is not reasonably made, the regulations shall provide
that such service shall no longer be required.
(b) Breach of contract; repayment
Where an individual fails to accept a reasonable offer of
employment in fulfillment of such obligated service or unreasonably
terminates or fails to perform the duties of such employment, the
Secretary shall require a repayment of the financial assistance
provided, prorated for the amount of time of obligated service
performed, together with interest on such amount which would be
payable if at the time the amounts were paid they were loans
bearing interest at the maximum legal prevailing rate, as
determined by the Treasurer of the United States.
