Waiver request submitted by Justin Tyler Mahoney, former member of the Workforce Development Board, regarding a $500 late fee assessed for filing his 2015 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 10 days late. |
|
Mr. Mahoney explained that his service ended in June 2016 when his services were no longer needed. Mr. Mahoney acknowledges receipt of the notice of delinquency; however, he stated it was at a time when his family was preparing to leave for the holidays. He stated that when he did return home and back to the office he did not immediately respond to the notice because of the business of serving as principal of a vocational school with over 500 students.
Mr. Mahoney stated that he remembered receiving the notice when he was at a conference in New Orleans ( December 6-9, 2016). He immediately filed the PFD when he returned from the conference.
Mr. Mahoney also stated that the imposition of a late fee would cause a financial hardship on his family. Correspondence was sent to Mr. Mahoney requesting supporting documentation. A response has not been received.
