Missed Deductions for Voluntary Savings Plans on Final Paychecks UCPath Center has discovered an issue involving missing voluntary retirement savings deductions on employees’ final paychecks that were issued from February 1, 2025, to July 2, 2025. The missed deductions were for the following savings plans:
  • 403(b) Plan – Pretax and/or Roth contributions 
  • 457(b) Plan – Pretax and/or Roth contributions
  • Defined Contribution Plan – After-Tax voluntary contributions

UCPath Center has identified the impacted individuals and is reviewing the records to confirm any missed deductions. The team is coordinating with UCOP to determine the appropriate resolution. A fix has been put in place as of July 3rd, 2025 to prevent this issue from occurring on future paychecks. More information regarding this issue can be found on JIRA.

Direct Deposit Validation Coming This July Due to an increase in fraudulent activity, especially on bank account data, UCPath Center is implementing additional measures to protect employee data at the end of July. When employees want to view or update their self-service direct deposit information, they will need to provide one full active account number tied to their direct deposit.
  • The system allows up to three attempts to enter an active account number correctly. After the third unsuccessful attempt, employees will need to try again the next day. 
  • This step is required to view or make changes to direct deposit information. This added layer of security is critical in helping safeguard employee financial information.
  • Employees should have their bank account number ready anytime they plan to update or review their direct deposit information in UCPath.
