Employees may obtain appeal kits and alternative contribution workbooks through bencom.fone; phone (800) 888- 8267, then press 1. It is also possible to download materials from the UC bencom Web site (www.ucop.edu/bencom).

Excess 403(b) contributions

In August, a notice was sent to employees whose contributions to the 403(b) Tax-Deferred Plan exceeded their maximum annual contribution limits for the 2000 tax year. Those who received this letter should follow the instructions to obtain more information about their contribution limits and other available options.

For information on the recalculation process or alternative contribution limits, or the excess contribution process, call the Office of Human Resources' Campus Benefits Unit at 642-7053.
