RE:
Waiver request submitted by Kathryn "Kate" Yowell Wendel, Local Workforce Development Board/Jefferson Parish, regarding a $150 late fee assessed for filing her amended 2020 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 3 days late.
Facts:
Kathryn "Kate" Yowell Wendel states that she believed she made the corrections and filed the amended documents that turned out to be incorrect. They were subsequently corrected and filed to ensure compliance. The requirement is due to her volunteer service on the Workforce Development Board for Jefferson Parish, and there has never been an issue in the past. Ms. Wendel would like to ask that the $150 late fee be waived.
