Waiver request submitted by Melissa M. Cox, former member of the Louisiana Physical Therapy Board, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing her amended 2019 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 30 days late. |

Ms. Cox stated she did not understand that her income earned as a teacher with a public school system was reportable. She states that her calling the staff when she received the NOD shows that she was not ignoring the issue and trying to provide the amendment. She stated that she needed her W-2 but her documents were destroyed in the hurricane Laura and delta and her home is still highly damaged.
