RE:
Waiver request submitted by Ingrid Felicia Payne, former East Baton Rouge Council on Aging / East Baton Rouge Parish, regarding a $50 late fee assessed for filing her 2023 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 1 days late.
Facts:
Ingrid Felicia Payne understands the importance of timely filings but states the one-day delay was minimal and unintentional. Ms. Payne believes that receiving notification of this fee a year later is unacceptable. Additionally, she is no longer serving on the Council on Aging Board. Ms. Payne appreciates your consideration and understanding of the circumstances. Please waive the assessed late fee.
