2025 Overpayment Recovery Deadline The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) states that repayment of a payroll overpayment must occur in the same year as the overpayment. This repayment ensures that the employee's earnings and taxes for the current year are correctly reflected in their W-2 issued in January.

• Please submit adjustment requests for overpayments that occurred between January 1 and October 1, 2025, no later than Friday, October 17, 2025.
  • UCPath Center will prioritize all overpayment adjustments received by October 17. UCPath Center may not be able to process year-end requests that are received after this deadline within the current year.
• Employees who received overpayment packets from UCPath Center must arrange repayment as soon as possible.
