RE:
Waiver request submitted by Carmen Lynette James, New Orleans Workforce Development Board, regarding a $350 late fee assessed for filing her 2015 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 7days late.
Facts:
Ms. James stated that the notice of delinquency was sent to her employer's old address, and for that reason, she did not receive the notice until November 2, 2016. Ms. James explained that the notice was signed for by a temporary employee and that may have caused the delay in her receiving the notice.

Ms. James stated that once she received the notice, she immediately completed and filed the disclosure statement. She also informed the Workforce Development office of her current employment address.
