LEVY ON BANK ACCOUNTS.
A. If any tax debtor shall fail to pay his or her indebtedness to the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission after the tax debtor has been notified of the amount due and demand for payment has been made, it shall be lawful for the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission to collect the amount owed by levy upon any bank account of the tax debtor.
B. To levy upon a tax debtor's bank account, the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission must serve a Notice of Levy on the bank in which the tax debtor has an account, along with the tax warrants covering all calendar quarters in which the tax debtor owes unemployment taxes, interest, penalty, fees, or surcharge.
C. Service of the Notice of Levy and tax warrants shall be made on the bank in the same manner as provided in Section 2004 of Title 12 of the Oklahoma Statutes for service of process in civil actions.
D. Upon receiving the Notice of Levy and any tax warrants issued against the tax debtor, the bank shall deliver all of the tax debtor's interest in the money in the tax debtor's bank account at the time of the service of the levy, subject to the banker's lien or right of setoff, or any other priority claim of the bank, up to the amount of indebtedness indicated on the tax warrants plus accrued interest pursuant to subsection A of Section 3-301 of Title 40 of the Oklahoma Statutes and any fees for service of process, to the representative of the Commission indicated on the Notice of Levy. The delivery of this money shall occur within ten (10) days of the date of service of the Notice of Levy.
E. If there is no money in the tax debtor's bank account at the time the Notice of Levy is served, or if the bank account has been closed, an officer of the bank on which the Notice of Levy is served shall make a statement to that effect on the Notice of Levy. The statement must be notarized and returned to the representative of the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission named in the Notice of Levy.
F. The Sheriff's Department that serves the Notice of Levy on the bank shall be entitled to a service fee of Fifty Dollars ($50.00) that is to be paid by the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission and added to the tax debtor's indebtedness as a fee in the latest calendar quarter for which the tax debtor has any type of indebtedness.
