RE:
Waiver request submitted by Kristi Miller Copeland, Northwest Human Services District, regarding a $450 late fee assessed for filing her 2022 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 9 days late.
Facts:
A BOE representative informed Kristie Miller Copeland that she missed the original filing deadline by nine days. She does not remember her circumstances at that time and does not want to lie about her reason for this oversight. Ms. Copeland sincerely apologizes for the delay in submitting her disclosure on time and requests a waiver of the assessed late fee.
