Reconsideration of a waiver request submitted by Jeffery Rose, a St. Landry Parish Constable, regarding a $1,500 late fee for filing his amended 2009 Tier 3 annual pfd 556 days late. |
|
New Information
:
At the December 2013 meeting, the Board suspended all but $500 of the $1,500 late fee based on future compliance. Mr. Rose states that he is a seasonal worker and based on a letter submitted by his employer, during the months February through August, he is unemployed as the harvest is from August to October, little work between October to February, and no work from February to August.
Initial Information:
Mr. Rose states he did not understand the reporting of the financial information. He also does not recall receiving the notice of delinquency. Although, he believes he may have mistaken it for the 2010 pfd since he did receive a notice of delinquency for that report also. The notice of delinquency for the 2010 was sent in October 2011. He states the imposition would also create a financial hardship.
