The Debt Referral Questionnaire is a form a referring agency completes for each debt type before referring debt to the Minnesota Department of Revenue. The form requests information about the agency, debt type, payment application, and method of referral.
All referring agencies, except for the Minnesota Judicial Branch, must send a notice to debtor by U.S. mail or personal delivery at the debtor’s last known address at least 20 days before referring a debt to the Minnesota Department of Revenue for collection. The notice must include:
- The nature and amount of the debt
- To whom the debt is owed
- Actions we may take to collect the debt
- Notification of our collection costs
- Their rights to ask for a cancellation of collection costs
- Notification that interest-bearing debts continue to accrue interest
- Revoking professional licenses

The Referring Agency Service Level Agreement outlines the use and participation in the Client Relations program. It is an agreement between the agency and the Minnesota Department of Revenue.
Your agency must complete a new Service Level Agreement to be able to refer debts for collection.
This agreement replaces any agreement, either formal or informal, that you currently have on file with us.
