As of today, Monday, May 6, 2024, UCPath Center has changed the "Submit an Inquiry" process to make it easier and speed issue resolution. Employees will no longer be required to manually select a topic and category when submitting an inquiry via Ask UCPath.

What's changed?

Beginning May 6, the process for opening a case in Ask UCPath will be changing to make it easier for employees to open cases and ask questions to the UCPC. Here is a brief video showing the changes. 

UCPath has recently introduced two important improvements to help UC employees manage their inquiries regarding pay and benefits on UCPath online. These enhancements were made available to all employees and transactional submitters on April 15.
