Waiver request submitted by Yvonne Lewis, Northeast Delta Human Services Authority, regarding a $700 late fee assessed for filing her 2023 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 14 days late. |

Administrative Assistant Yvonne Lewis works for the City of Tallulah and serves as the Board President for Northeast Delta Human Services Authority. Her failure to file was an oversight. She accepted the position to help 11 low-income parishes that the Board serves with mental health issues. She does not receive payment for this position. Ms. Lewis is a single woman who lives alone, and this fine would impact her finances tremendously. She understands the importance of complying and ensures she will do so in the future. Ms. Lewis is asking for mercy in this situation.
