Second Follow-up to December 2020 Pay Period - Employee Contributions for State Disability Insurance (SDI) Program

Action Required by Department: Share the following information with all departmental human resources (HR)  and Accounting employees. 

Description: On January 21, 2021, the State Controller’s Office (SCO) released communication to all departmental human resources (HR) offices notifying you that the increase of 0.2% for SDI was not withheld from employees’ December 2020 pay period income, issued January 1, 2021. For those employees impacted, SCO established an Agency Collection Accounts Receivable (A/R) for the December 2020 pay period, to withhold 0.2% for SDI.  On January 27, 2021, SCO released communication that asked HR offices to not take any collection steps. 

For record keeping purposes, HR Offices can locate the Agency Collection A/Rs via View Direct.  Accounting Offices will be provided with a paper copy of the A/Rs.  SCO will mail them out over the next several weeks.
