(4) the debtor cannot be located, (5) the available assets or income, current or anticipated,
that may be available for payment of the debt are insufficient, (6) the debt has been
discharged in bankruptcy, (7) the applicable statute of limitations for collection of the debt

(b) Uncollectible debt must be reported by the state agency as part of its quarterly reports
