§  140.  Recovery  of delinquent payments.  Amounts due from political   subdivisions under sections one hundred  thirty-eight  and  one  hundred   thirty-nine  of  this  chapter and which are unpaid after the final date   for their payment, may, at the request of the director and after written   notice to  the  fiscal  officer  of  the  political  subdivision  liable   therefor,  be  deducted,  with  interest, from any moneys payable by the   state to such political subdivision, or such delinquent payments may  be   recovered,  with  interest,  by an action as upon contract in a court of   competent jurisdiction against such political subdivision. If the amount   due  from  the  political  subdivision,  with   interest   thereon,   is   unascertainable  because  of the failure of such subdivision to file one   or more reports, any  or  all  moneys  payable  by  the  state  to  such   subdivision  may  be withheld until such report or reports are filed and   the amount due,  with  interest,  is  paid  directly  by  the  political   subdivision  or  as  provided  above.  In  the case of amounts due under   sections one  hundred  thirty-four,  one  hundred  thirty-five  and  one   hundred thirty-eight of this chapter, such interest shall be computed at   the rate established by the Federal Social Security Act. Such rate shall   be  applied  on  a  per-diem  basis based on the number of days from the   final due date established  for  such  payment  by  the  Federal  Social   Security  Act through and inclusive of the date such payment is credited   to the account of the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States. In   the case of amounts due under section one hundred  thirty-nine  of  this   chapter,  interest  shall be computed from the first day after the final   date for payment at the rate of four per centum per annum.
