| Reconsideration of a waiver request submitted by Clarice Kinney, a member of the Workforce Investment Board, regarding the Board's suspension of all but $500 of a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing her amended 2009 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 465 days late |
|
Ms. Kinney submitted the waiver result letter with a note asking the Board review an attachment. No attachment was received. Payment was also submitted
Initial Info:
Ms. Kinney only filed the cover page and received a notice of delinquency stating she needed to file the schedules as well. Ms. Kinney failed to disclose the income received from the Teacher's Retirement System.
Ms. Kinney states that she is 76 years old and her memory and filing system is not as good as ours. She has served on this board or some version of it for over 30 years. She did not understand the pfd when it ask for income from the state, she thought it meant employment only. She does not recall receiving the notice of delinquency and apologizes for the untimeliness.
