Reconsideration of the Board's decision to decline to waive in regards to a waiver request submitted by Donnie White, Constable/District 4/St. Charles Parish, regarding a $2500 late fee assessed for filing his 2016 Tier 2 annual PFD 258 days late. |
|
Mr. White was advised that his supporting documentation regarding his medical treatment showed his was receiving treatments in 2018, after he filed the PFD in question. Mr. White submitted additional documentation that shows he received medical treatment in September 2016, which is almost one year prior to when he received the NOD for the PFD in question. Further, Mr. White has two previous late filings with an assessed late fee and he is still holding public office.
Initial Information:
Mr. White is requesting a waiver as he was out of state due to a medical condition that required him to travel in early September (2017); therefore his NOD letter was misplaced. Mr. White states this has been a difficult time due to the stress of treatment for his medical conditions and this caused him to be delinquent.
Request for supporting documentation was issued. Mr. White's response to the NOD was due on September 6, 2017. The supporting documentation provides that he was at MD Anderson on September 2, 2018 through September 14, 2018.
