What is the onboarding process for SSoA Aged A/R and Debt Recovery?
Alaska Statute authorizes State agencies to use various tools and programs to enforce collection action on delinquent accounts. SSoA works to identify and inventory aged accounts receivable, onboards accounts to private collections agencies, and provides continuous customer account support through the entire debt recovery process.
