Waiver request submitted by Charlene Trusclair, Workforce Development Board #21 / East Baton Rouge, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing her 2022 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 56 days late. |
|
Charlene Trusclair states this is her first late fee and untimely filing. Her husband, Kenneth Trusclair, received and misplaced the notice. During that time, Ms. Trusclair had many visits to the doctor to keep her diabetes and other health issues under control. In her position at DCFS, she had federal and state deadlines that required her to work late hours during the week and work some weekends. Ms. Trusclair requested a copy of the LFO and was informed that she could submit a waiver request. She is a first-time board member and is still learning the process. Ms. Trusclair believed her membership did not expire until 5/31/2024. If she had been familiar with the filing process, her documents would have been submitted on time. Please waive the assessed late fee.
