Waiver request submitted by Maria C. Guilott, former member of the Harbor Center, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing her 2020 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 446 days late. |

|
Maria C. Guilott failed to file the 2020 disclosure because her husband had cancer and they were spending time in Houston at MD Anderson for her husband's treatments. They also had to drive back and forth to Slidell where he received infusions at the Cancer Center. COVID also played a part since they were confined to their home when they were not traveling. Her world was turned upside down when she received the notice in 2022 and failed to submit it. Ms. Guilott's husband had brain surgery in June 2021 and passed in July 2021. After 55 years of marriage, her loss was overwhelming and she was lost without him. Unfortunately, the paperwork she was supposed to submit was lost in the shuffle. Ms. Guilott would like to ask that you waive the fees. *Emailed waiver request submitted on 4/18/23 states surgery was in May 2021. Supporting documents received on 6/9/23 states surgery was 6/18/21.
