Valerie Allen spoke with a BOE representative 2 days prior to faxing her Tier 3 form. She attempted to fax the statement several times, but her fax machine did not print confirmations. At that time she was working at a hospital. She later spoke with another BOE representative who confirmed with the IT department there were several attempts on her end. She states there should be documentation of her previous calls regarding this matter. Ms. Allen would like to ask that the $200 assessed late fee be waived.
