Waiver request submitted by Jan K. Byland, Children's Trust Fund, regarding a $500 late fee assessed for filing her 2015 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 10 days late. |
|
Ms. Byland explained that she served on the Trust Fund Board because of her position as Director of Child Welfare for the Department of Children and Family Services. She further explained that when her role as director ended, her service on the board ended, i.e., at the end of 2015. Ms. Byland was not aware of her requirement to file an annual PFD on 5-15-2016, nor did she receive any notification from the Trust Fund Board of the requirement.
Ms. Byland stated that she was out of the office when the notice was sent to her employment and signed for by someone in the office (address on file with this agency). She stated that she responded to the notice as soon as she returned. Ms. Byland also changed the address that she has on file with this agency (her home address) to ensure that she receives correspondence in a timely manner.
