Before final payment is made by or on behalf of the state, county,   city, town, village or other civil division of the state for any sum  or   sums  due on account of a contract for a public improvement, it shall be   the duty of the comptroller of the state or the financial officer of the   municipal corporation or  other  officer  or  person  charged  with  the   custody  and  disbursement  of  the  corporate  funds  applicable to the   contract under and pursuant to which payment  is  made  to  require  the   contractor  to  file every verified statement required to be obtained by   the contractor from its subcontractors pursuant to  subdivision  one  of   this  section and to file a statement in writing in form satisfactory to   such officer certifying to the amounts then  due  and  owing  from  such   contractor filing such statement to or on behalf of any and all laborers   for  daily  or weekly wages or supplements on account of labor performed   upon the work under the contract, setting forth therein the names of the   persons whose wages or supplements are unpaid and the amount due to each   or on behalf of each respectively. Such statement shall also  set  forth   the  amounts  known by the contractor to be then due and owing from each   subcontractor, or from a subcontractor of such subcontractor, for  wages   or supplements, or shall certify that the contractor has no knowledge of   such   amounts   owing   to   or  on  behalf  of  any  laborers  of  its   subcontractors,  and  that  in  the  event  it  is  determined  by   the   commissioner  that  the wages or supplements or both of any employees of   such subcontractors have not been  paid  or  provided  pursuant  to  the   appropriate  schedule  of wages and supplements, the contractor shall be   responsible for payment of such wages or  supplements  pursuant  to  the   provisions  of  section  two  hundred twenty-three of this article.
