Current as of January 01, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

1. An individual who enters into a written contract with the department of health and senior services, as described in section 191.440, and who fails to maintain an acceptable employment status shall be liable to the state for any amount awarded as a loan by the department directly to the individual who entered into the contract that has not yet been forgiven.

2. An individual fails to maintain an acceptable employment status under this section when the contracted individual involuntarily or voluntarily terminates qualifying employment, is dismissed from such employment before completion of the contractual service obligation within the specific time frame outlined in the contract, or fails to respond to requests made by the department.

3. If an individual breaches the written contract of the individual by failing to begin or complete such individual's service obligation, the state shall be entitled to recover from the individual an amount equal to the sum of:

(1) The total amount of the loan awarded by the department or, if the department had already awarded partial forgiveness at the time of the breach, the amount of the loan not yet forgiven;

(2) The interest on the amount that would be payable if at the time the loan was awarded it was a loan bearing interest at the maximum prevailing rate as determined by the Treasurer of the United States;

(3) An amount equal to any damages incurred by the department as a result of the breach; and

(4) Any legal fees or associated costs incurred by the department or the state of Missouri in the collection of damages.
