DELAY IN SCO BENEFITS PROCESSING

4.16.2008

Our office has received notification from the CSU Chancellor's Office that the California State Controller's Office is experiencing a delay in the processing of CSU benefit enrollments and changes. This delay is a result of labor contract settlements with non-CSU State employees, which are requiring manual processing by the State Controller's Office. This has resulted in many of our employees' documents not being processed in a timely manner. Should you experience a delay in the establishment or change of your health, dental, or vision coverage, please notify the Payroll and Benefits office at x6435. We will be working directly with the State Controller's Office and the benefit agencies to establish your coverage as quickly as possible.

To ensure your coverage has been established appropriately, you may check the status of your benefits by reviewing deductions on your check stubs each month. Deductions may also be viewed online through the Chico State Connection Portal under the State Employee Page. The Payroll & Compensation Information has a link to View Paycheck History. This link will take you to Paycheck Selection where you can pick the paycheck you would like to review. Clicking on the pay period will bring up your deductions for that pay period. Deductions that are listed indicate that the State Controller's Office has processed the documents for those benefits. If you expect a deduction, but one does not appear, please contact Payroll and Benefits at x6435.

We would like to assure you that we are working closely with the agencies and the State Controller's Office to establish benefits or make requested changes to your benefits as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience through this time.
