Enhancements to my|CalPERS are scheduled to be implemented mid-November for the Direct Authorization Program’s online deduction processes. The new features will allow more ease of use for deduction processing as well as deduction register report retrieval. The updated DAV User Guide, training materials and training schedule are being developed in preparation of the anticipated implementation. Stay tuned as we will be reaching out to our direct authorization vendors to schedule the training. Please pass this along to other interested parties in your organization. Email us if you have questions.

Reports are now available for direct authorization vendors to retrieve in Cognos. The report you will need is Deduction Register Report 283384 0 (dated September 19, 2012 at 12:38 a.m.). If you receive an error message, the reason may be due to a system timeout in the search. Should this happen, please retry your search. Please report any problems to the BNSD Direct Authorization Program.

The Direct Authorization Program charges a deduction administration fee of $.03 per deduction per month. These charges accumulate during the fiscal year (July 1 - June 30) and are invoiced annually on July 1.
For Fiscal Year 2011-12, CalPERS is waiving the Direct Authorization administration fees due to computer errors experienced by our new system. Therefore, invoices will not be generated and payment will not be required for this year's Annual Direct Authorization Billing. We anticipate we will resume our annual invoicing for Fiscal Year 2012-13. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. If you have questions, please email us.

There are known system issues which are intermittently preventing payroll files from processing. A system modification is scheduled this weekend that should support processing of these payroll files. We are working to resolve the remaining issues, and further updates will be provided when additional information is available. If your payroll files remain in a “processing” status for more than 24-hours, please contact the CalPERS Customer Contact Center at 888 CalPERS (or 888-225-7377). We thank you for your patience.

Due to technical issues, the browser back button functionality has been temporarily disabled on some my|CalPERS payroll reporting pages. This system limitation may cause you to perform additional steps when trying to view and resolve payroll errors within participant records. As an interim solution, it is suggested that system users do the following:
-
After submitting a payroll file, utilize the COGNOS application to generate a payroll report summary to view record details. This will help you identify the cause of the error prior to viewing the record online.
-
When navigating out of a record, select the Reporting global navigation tab. This will allow you to go back into the preprocessing area to view records. We apologize for the inconvenience.
