Section 1137 Of Article 8. Assessments From California Unemployment Insurance Code >> Division 1. >> Part 1. >> Chapter 4. >> Article 8.
1137
. (a) If the director finds, in accordance with Section 1137.1,
that the collection of any contributions will be jeopardized by
delay the director shall thereupon make an assessment of those
contributions, served pursuant to Section 1206, noting upon the
assessment that it is a jeopardy assessment levied under this section
and the facts upon which the director finds that collection of
contributions will be jeopardized by delay. The amount of the
assessment shall be immediately delinquent, whether or not the time
otherwise allowed by law or authorized regulations has expired. When
applicable, the penalties provided in Sections 1126, 1127, and 1128,
and interest under Section 1129, shall attach to the amount of the
contributions specified in the jeopardy assessment. Penalties under
Section 1135 shall apply if payment is not made, or security for
payment is not provided, within 30 days of service of a jeopardy
assessment.
(b) In levying the assessment, the director may demand a deposit
of such security as the director deems necessary to ensure compliance
with this division, including additional security from time to time,
but not more frequently than monthly, in the amount of accumulating
interest. The deposit of sufficient security to ensure compliance
shall stay other collection action by the director while the
assessment is under review. The deposit of the sufficient security
shall not be a condition for the exercise of the review and appeal
rights of the employer pursuant to Sections 1221, 1222, 1223, and
1224. The filing of a petition for reassessment pursuant to Section
1221 shall not stay collection action by the director while the
assessment is under review, but shall stay the sale of all property
other than perishable goods seized by the director pursuant to the
collection action until a final decision from a preliminary hearing
pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 1221 is issued by the
administrative law judge or the board.
