For example, in UCPath, the setid will remain HACMP. As a reminder, emails were updated in July to @uclawsf.edu but the @uchastings.edu email will remain as only the current ACTIVE students, staff and faculty received a uclawsf.edu email.

    • The hire pilot streamlines hiring entries and reduces hiring time from days to less than five minutes. Four new locations recently joined the pilot, and four more are preparing for the November 2023 rollout. See the table below for details.

Did you know? 

As of August 2023, UCPath expanded the use of the eBenefit Enroll forms to Postdoctoral Scholars, Medical Residents, and Graduate Students who are eligible for FSA plans.

Postdoctoral Scholars can utilize the eForms to enroll in both newly eligible enrollment Period of Initial Eligibility (PIE) events and life event PIEs. Medical Residents and Graduate Students who are eligible for the Flexible Spending Accounts can enroll in the applicable plan(s)

The Employee Benefit Category option has been added as a new drop-down menu to the Benefits Enrollment eForm. Once an employee selects one of the below options, the appropriate eBenefit Form will display:

  • Faculty/Staff Benefits
  • Graduate Student Benefits
  • Medical Resident Benefits
  • Postdoctoral Scholar Benefits

Once the employee selects the option from the drop-down menu, the Reason for Request option will populate, and employees can choose the appropriate enrollment PIE. The enrollment PIE options will vary based upon the Employee Benefit Category that is selected. Employees will receive a confirmation email once the eForm has been processed.
