Untimely request that the Board reconsider its decision to decline to waive two (2) $1500 late fees assessed against Jeri Ann Pilk, former member of the Commission for the Deaf, for filing her 2016 Tier 2.1 annual PFD 290 days late and her 2017 Tier 2.1 annual PFD 611 days late. |
|
Ms Pilk states she filed the reconsideration untimely as she is struggling with issues with her physical and mental health. She states her anxiety and depression make it hard for her to understand things.
Initial Waiver Request:
Ms. Pilk states that she sent in her 2016 PFD in January; however, she did not have proof of the filing. We accepted her PFD as filed on 11/14/18. She states that she is unable to pay the late fee because she has filed for disability and has no income.
