(820 ILCS 405/2206) (from Ch. 48, par. 686)
Sec. 2206.
Collection of amounts due.
If any employing unit or person shall default in any payment required
to be made under this Act, the Director is authorized to
contract for assistance in collecting such amounts and to expend sums from
the nonappropriated portion of the Special Administrative Account
established by Section 2101 in an amount not to exceed any penalties and
interest collected to pay for such services. Any amount due
may also be collected by civil action against the employing unit or
person brought in the name of the People
of the State of Illinois, without regard as to whether or not the amount
of such contributions has been assessed by the Director as provided in
Section 2200, and the same, when collected, shall be treated in the same
manner as contributions paid under this Act, and such employing unit's
or person's compliance with the provisions of this Act requiring
payments to be made under this Act shall date from the time of the
payment of said money so collected. Civil action brought under this
Section to collect contributions or interest thereon shall be entitled
to preference upon the calendar over all other civil actions except
judicial review proceedings under this Act and cases arising under the
Workers' Compensation Act of this State.
