Terms Used In Alaska Statutes 23.20.205

  • Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
  • employer: means (A) an employing unit which for some portion of a day within the calendar year has or had in employment one or more individuals. See Alaska Statutes 23.20.520
  • peace officer: means
    (A) an officer of the state troopers. See Alaska Statutes 01.10.060
  • property: includes real and personal property. See Alaska Statutes 01.10.060
  • state: includes the states of the United States of America, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. See Alaska Statutes 23.20.520
(b) If the notice is served by mail the notice must be deposited in the post office, addressed to the delinquent employer at the employer’s last address of record and the postage paid. The date of service is considered to be the day of delivery shown on the delivery receipt. However, if it appears the addressee is deliberately avoiding service, then the date of service is the day of mailing.
(c) Unless an appeal is filed under Alaska Stat. § 23.20.220, if the amount assessed is not paid within 30 days after personal service or mailing of the notice as required by (a) of this section, the department may collect the amount stated in the assessment by the distraint, seizure, and sale of the property, goods, chattels, and effects of the delinquent employer. Goods and property exempt from execution under the laws of this state are exempt from distraint and sale under this section.
