RE:
Waiver request submitted by Timothy Palmatier, member of the Louisiana School Employees' Retirement System, regarding a $450 late fee assessed for filing his 2011 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 9 days late.
Facts:
Mr. Palmatier retired in January 2012 and did not receive the typical reminders that he would if he hadn't left state employment. Mr. Palmatier served as a designee member. When Mr. Palmatier received the notice of delinquency, he had difficulty locating a copy of his 2011 tax return, which had pertinent information on it to complete the pfd. He is also presently employed with the Jefferson Parish as the Finance Director. During the time the response was required to the notice of delinquency, he was pressed with the legislative fiscal session combined with out of state commitments.
