B. Any amount offset by the secretary shall be held by the Department of Revenue for a period of forty-five days from the date of mailing of the notice of offset to the individual.
C. If a written contest to the offset is made within the forty-five day period, the amount of offset shall be further held pending the final disposition of the matter by the claimant or by a court.
D. If no written contest to the offset is made within the forty-five day period, such failure by the individual shall be deemed a waiver of the individual's right to contest the offset and the amount of offset shall be credited against the individual's debt to the claimant.
