How do I cancel my miscellaneous deductions (e.g. charitable deductions)?

Answer

Miscellaneous deductions are processed directly between the State Controller's Office (SCO) and the organizations providing them.

Employees desiring to cancel voluntary miscellaneous payroll deduction(s) should contact the respective company/companies. An employee may write to SCO Payroll operations to request the cancellation of the following deductions:

Charitable contributions
credit union
insurance
membership dues
parking
state agency programs, etc.

Cancellation requests must be sent to the SCO and must include the following information:

Statement requesting the deduction cancellation(s)
Employee's full name
Employee's social security number
Deduction(s) to be canceled by deduction name as it appears on the earnings statement and/or by deduction/organization code, if known
Employee's mailing address
Employee's original signature
Date request(s) signed

The employee must send a written request for assistance to:

Payroll operations will notify the company affected by the administrative cancellation. Employees should check their Statement of Earnings and Deductions to verify that cancellation(s) occurred. It is the employee's responsibility to ascertain that administration cancellation requests are honored.
