The Attorney General must sue to recover money owed to the United States when a person responsible for public money does not pay after the account is settled. The amount includes the person’s commission and 6-percent annual interest, but the commission is lost when judgment is entered.
The Attorney General must bring a civil action to recover an amount due to the United States Government on settlement of the account of a person accountable for public money when the person neglects or refuses to pay the amount to the Treasury. Any commission of that person and interest of 6 percent a year from the time the money is received by the person until repaid to the Treasury must be added to the amount due on the account. The commission is forfeited when judgment is obtained.
