102.835 (12) Notice before levy. If no proceeding for review permitted by law is pending, the department shall make a demand to the uninsured employer debtor for payment of the debt which is subject to levy and give notice that the department may pursue legal action for collection of the debt against the uninsured employer debtor. The department shall make the demand for payment and give the notice at least 10 days prior to the levy, personally or by any type of mail service which requires a signature of acceptance, at the address of the uninsured employer debtor as it appears on the records of the department. The demand for payment and notice shall include a statement of the amount of the debt, including costs and fees, and the name of the uninsured employer debtor who is liable for the debt. The uninsured employer's
debtor's failure to accept or receive the notice does not prevent the department from making the levy. Notice prior to levy is not required for a subsequent levy on any debt of the same uninsured employer debtor within one year after the date of service of the original levy.
