| Waiver request submitted by Joseph Salvadore Clark, New Orleans Civil Service Commission, regarding a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing his 2014 Tier 2.1 annual PFD 204 days late. |
|
Mr. Clark states that at the time he received the Notice of Delinquency he was caring for his sister (who was being seen for possible lung cancer) and his 90-year-old aunt who he was transporting to doctor appointments (related to her heart condition).
On June 29, 2016, a request for supporting documentation was sent to Mr. Clark. Mr. Clark responded that his sister and aunt refused to grant him permission to provide any medical documentation. He stated that in May 2015, his sister underwent some diagnostic testing. In August 2015, his aunt was admitted to the hospital with a heart condition in Slidell. His sister then had female surgery and he cared for her post-op at her home.
