Section 1334 - Judgment; exception(a) Any liability for contributions, payments, penalties, interest, and costs imposed under this chapter becomes, from the time the liability is due and payable, a debt of the liable employer or employing unit to the State for the benefit of the Unemployment Compensation Fund and the Contingent Fund to be recovered in a civil action.(b) The Commissioner may file in the Superior Court for the county in which the employer resides, or the Washington Superior Court if the employer is a nonresident, a certified copy of an assessment for contributions from which an appeal has not been taken within the time allowed . The court, after due notice to all interested parties , shall summarily render a final judgment in accordance with the assessment. The judgment shall have the same effect, and all proceedings in relation to the judgement shall be the same, as though the judgment had been rendered in an action duly heard and determined by the court, provided, however, there shall not be an appeal from the judgment except on matters of law heard and determined in the court.(c) When an assessment has been made under section 1330 of this subchapter from which a timely appeal has not been taken or when any appeal taken has been finally determined under sections 1331 and 1332 of this subchapter, the Commissioner may, as an additional or alternate remedy to other remedies and proceedings authorized by this chapter, issue a warrant directed to the sheriff of any county of this State. The warrant shall command the sheriff to levy upon and sell the real and personal property of any person liable for unpaid contributions, payments, interest, penalties, and costs due under this chapter, for payment of the amount due and the cost of executing the warrant, and to return the warrant to the Commissioner and to pay the Commissioner the money collected by virtue of the warrant within 60 days after receipt of the warrant. The sheriff shall within five days after receipt of the warrant file with the county clerk a copy of the warrant, and the clerk shall then enter in the judgment docket the name of the person liable, the amount of the contributions, payments, interest, penalties, and costs for which the warrant is issued and the date when the copy is filed. The levy and sale shall be effected in the manner prescribed for levy of execution. If a warrant is returned not fully satisfied, the Commissioner may issue new warrants for the balance due in accordance with the procedure set forth in this subsection.Amended by 2024 , No. 85, § 191, eff. 7/1/2024.Amended 1959, No. 329 (Adj.
