Waiver request submitted by Deshonda Monee' Coleman, a former member of the Louisiana Connections Academy - Charter School, regarding $1500 late fee assessed for filing her amended 2015 Tier 3 annual PFD 295 days late. |

Ms. Coleman acknowledged that the PFD that she initially filed did not have the incomes she and her husband received; however, she intended to file an amendment to the PFD once those amounts were obtained. Ms. Coleman stated subsequent to that time, the Great Flood of 2016 hit and she was affected by that flood. Ms. Coleman explained that she was consumed by the rebuild of her home and dealing with the financial stresses of the ordeal. Ms. Coleman submitted supporting documentation to better explain her situation.
