Waiver request submitted by Gifford Briggs, Lafayette Charter Foundation, regarding a $400 late fee assessed for filing his 2015 Tier 3 annual pfd 8 days late. |
|
Mr. Briggs stated that at the time the NOD was received, he was commuting from Lafayette to Houston to care for his father. On September 29, 2016, his father (Don Briggs) fell down a flight of stairs (in North Carolina) and sustained injuries which required that he be airlifted to a hospital for surgery. Subsequent to the surgery his father was transported to Houston to receive care in a traumatic brain injury unit.
Mr. Briggs stated that the past six months through the present have been difficult. He stated that once he realized that he had not responded to the Notice (right after Christmas), he filed the PFD with our agency.
