On April 27, UCPath issued corrected Forms W‑2 (W‑2c) and informed approximately 7,500 employees impacted by updated reporting guidance for mandatory Summer Salary DC Plan contributions in 2025. 

This is a reporting correction only and does not affect taxable income or taxes withheld; no action is required at this time.

On March 16, UCPath launched the new employee support chatbot, PathPal. Phase 1 will help users navigate common “how-to” questions using approved UCPath job aid resources.

No department action is required. 

Employees received an alert from the UCPath Center advising of employee records and contingent worker records with an "Expected Job End Date" of March 31, 2026.

To avoid unintended impacts, employees are asked to review job records with upcoming end dates and determine the required action by March 31.
