Other important reminders
Protect your security
UC does not send 1095-C or W-2 statements by email or text. If you receive an email or text with a link or an attachment for viewing these statements, it is a phishing scam designed to gain private information. Do not open attachments or click email links that claim to provide access to your 1095-C or W-2. To access your electronic tax documents, always visit UCPath online using a safe/known link.
Verify your dependents
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires UC to make reasonable efforts to obtain Social Security numbers for employees, their spouses/domestic partners and dependents. To review or update your information, log into UCPath online, then select Employee Actions > Health and Welfare > Dependent Coverage (job aid (opens in new window)).
International workers: Verify your GLACIER account information
International employees may receive a W-2 or 1042-S (Foreign Person’s U.S. Source Income Subject to Withholding). To ensure your tax information is sent correctly, verify that your personal email and home addresses match exactly in UCPath online and the GLACIER tax database. You may also opt to have an electronic 1042-S through GLACIER. Learn more about Form 1042-S (opens in new window).
Claim exemption from withholding by February 15, 2025
If you claim exemption from tax withholding you are required by the IRS to complete a new W-4 each year. If you claim exemption from withholding in 2025, make this choice in UCPath before February 15 (job aid (opens in new window)).
