| Reconsideration of a waiver request submitted by Sylvia Scineaux-Richard, a member of the East New Orleans Neighborhood Advisory Commission, regarding a $1,050 late fee assessed for filing her 2014 Tier 2.1 Annual PFD 21 days late. |
|
Ms. Scineaux-Richard states that after reviewing the documents, it appears that a person working in another suite at the office building where the commission's office is located signed for the notice of delinquency. This delayed her receipt of the notice. The notice of delinquency was sent to the correct address with the correct suite number; however, the secretary, Claire White, did not sign the green card.
Ms. Scieneaux-Richard is also supposed to be submitting information regarding medical bills evidencing the financial hardship of the late fee.
Initial Information:
Ms. Scineaux-Richard states that the commission office is only manned two days a week, therefore, it is difficult to receive notices timely. This is the only address supplied by Ms. Scineaux-Richard.
