| Reconsideration of a waiver request submitted by Edward Patrick, a Constable for St. Mary Parish, regarding a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing his 2011 Tier 3 annual pfd 235 days late. |
|
The Board previously declined to waive. Mr. Patrick states that his wife was ill and that is why he could not respond timely. He states staff can contact her doctor for clarification. However, according to the letter previously submitted by his wife's doctor, her illness and surgery was after the NOD was issued and after the pfd was filed.
Previous Information:
Mr. Patrick states it was an oversight due to his wife's health problems, hospitalizations and major surgery. He states he is her sole care-giver. The doctor's letter received states that Mrs. Patrick was very ill between 3/2/14 to 3/10/14. This time period is after the notice of delinquency was received and after the pfd was filed.
