(2) Payments under paragraph (1) may be made in advance on the basis of estimates by the Sec- retary, or may be made by way of reimburse- ment, and adjustments may be made in future payments under this subsection to take account of overpayments or underpayments in amounts previously paid. (3) The Secretary may, to the extent he finds such action to be necessary, prescribe require- ments to assure that any individual will repay the amount of his fellowship or traineeship re- ceived under this subsection to the extent such individual fails to serve, for the period pre- scribed by the Secretary, with a State or polit- ical subdivision thereof, or with the Federal Government, in connection with administration of any State or local public assistance program. The Secretary may relieve any individual of his obligation to so repay, in whole or in part, whenever and to the extent that requirement of such repayment would, in his judgment, be in- equitable or would be contrary to the purposes of any of the public welfare programs estab- lished by this chapter.
