Waiver request submitted by Crystal Gates, Doyline Board of Alderman (Pop. 818)/ Webster Parish, regarding a $500 late fee assessed for filing her 2019 Tier 3 annual pfd 31 days late. |

Ms. Gates does not recall exactly what was going on at the time her PFD was due; only that her husband had lost his job (around that time) and home life was hectic. She is a small business owner that operates from her home and "things" have not been good financially. Ms. Gates stated she is a mother of two and is helping to raise another child. She tries to "do her part" by serving her community and would never disregard her filing requirements.
