61-5-40. Delinquent contributions as lien on employer's property--Attachment and continuation of lien. If any employer liable to pay contributions and interest, or either, refuses or neglects to pay the same, the amount, including any interest penalty or addition to the contribution, together with the costs that may accrue in addition thereto, shall be a lien in favor of the Department of Labor upon all property and rights to property whether real or personal belonging to the employer.
The lien attaches at the time the contribution becomes due and payable and continues until the liability for the contribution and interest, or either, is satisfied.
