Waiver request submitted by John Courtney, member of the state Board of Examiners in Psychology, regarding a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing his 2010 Tier 2.1 annua pfd 326 days late. |
|
Mr. Courtney states that he overlooked the filing in 2011 for his 2010 pfd. At the end of 2012, Mr. Courtney resigned from the board due to his mother becoming very ill. He and his brother agreed that the best way to care for her was for Mr. Courtney to relocate to New Mexico, which resulted in a 50% salary reduction. In March 2013, he also withdrew $58,000 from his retirement account to help with expenses. The imposition of the fee would create a financial hardship. He has filed all final reports.
