If the director determines that the collection of any amounts due from any covered employer under the provisions of this chapter will be jeopardized by delay, he may, whether or not the time prescribed by this chapter or any rules issued pursuant thereto for making reports and payments has expired, determine, on the basis of available information, the wages paid by such employer for covered employment and declare the amount due thereon immediately payable, and shall give written notice of such declaration to such employer. Any amounts, including penalty and interest, that are contained in such written declaration shall be subject to immediate seizure pursuant to section 72-1360A , Idaho Code, as well as through any other collection procedures allowed under law.
