(1) For the purposes of this Act, the Board may require to be produced such evidence of the age, marriage, dependency or death of any person as it deems necessary and in default of the production of any such evidence the Board may itself obtain the evidence and deduct the expense incurred in obtaining it from any moneys payable from the Fund to the person required to produce the evidence.

(2) Where, pursuant to subsection (1), the Board obtains evidence that a contributor failed to produce but sufficient moneys are not immediately payable from the Fund to the contributor to reimburse the Board for the expense incurred in obtaining the evidence, the employer of the contributor shall, on the requisition of the Board, deduct from the salary or wages of the contributor next payable the difference, as certified by the Board in the requisition, between the amount of the expenditure so incurred and the moneys immediately payable from the Fund and shall forward the amount so deducted to the Board.
