Waiver request submitted by Angelita Burnzetta Jackson, former member of the Health Care Trust Fund Board, regarding a $100 late fee assessed for filing her 2019 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 2 days late. |

In 2019, Ms. Jackson stated she began transitioning into retirement. During this time there were many moving parts. She was transitioning off the board, there was a new administration, and 90% of the staff was new. She thought her disclosure was submitted timely. Ms. Jackson expressed that she has never filed a disclosure late before and apologizes for being delinquent. She asks the Ethics Board to waive her fine as she was "caught up in the peril of 2020 life" (referring to the Covid-19 Pandemic).
