Benefits shall be subject to tax levies issued by the Internal Revenue Service in accordance with 26 U.S.C., Section 6331(h) provided an agreement is entered into between the Internal Revenue Service and the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission, and approved by the United States Department of Labor, that provides for the payment of all administrative costs associated with processing the tax levies. No waiver of any exemption provided for in this section shall be valid.
