| Waiver request submitted by Parker H. Sternbergh, Board of Examiners for Social Workers, regarding a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing her 2014 Tier 2.1 annual PFD 144 days late. |
|
Ms. Sternbergh states that she could not timely file the PFD because her computer was being fixed and was not available to her until May 17th (year not provided). She provides a fax transmittal showing a transmission that occurred on May 17th (again year not provided). A review of the database indicates that her 2015 annual PFD was received on May 17, 2016. A request to the IT Division was made asking for transmittals received on May 17, 2015. A 2014 annual PFD was not received on that date.
Ms. Sternbergh ask for consideration as she feels the late fee amount is excessive for filing her statement two days late. (The PFD was filed 144 days past the NOD due date and 262 days late from its original deadline.)
