RE:
Waiver request submitted by Tina Pohlmeyer regarding a $600 late fee assessed for filing her 2010 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 12 days late.
Facts:
Tina Pohlmeyer is a member of the Workforce Investment Board. Ms. Pohlmeyer states that her employment was terminated and she moved to Texas to live with her family and try to find a job. Ms. Pohlmeyer assumed that when she was terminated, her service on the Workforce Investment Board terminated as well since it was her company who appointed her to the board. Ms. Pohlmeyer was unaware of the filing requirements. Further, she is still unemployed and the late fee assessment would cause her financial hardship.
