RE:
Untimely waiver request submitted by Alejandro R. Perkins, Board of Supervisors for the University of Louisiana System, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing his 2018 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 101 days late and regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing his 2019 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 84 days late and regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing his 2020 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 84 days late and regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing his 2021 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 84 days late.
Facts:
Over the last four years, Alejandro R. Perkins has had several life-changing events that disrupted the flow of his work, home, and life. During the four years, he lost his mother, lost his youngest sister, and suffered through the pandemic with family sickness. Last year he also received the devastating news that his wife was diagnosed with lung cancer. In April of 2023, cancer treatment became overwhelming which is why he failed to respond after receiving his notices. In retrospect, he realizes he should have contacted someone at BOE, but trying to accept their new normal has been difficult. Mr. Perkins understands that he must file his financial disclosures annually and timely, but he is asking for your consideration in waiving the assessed late fees. At this time all of his reports have been filed.
