Beware of Phishing – UCPath Security Measures Introduced for Direct Deposit Changes

Based on recent phishing attempts, UCPath is introducing a new security measure to enhance the protection of employee information.  UCPath will automatically send email notifications to employees whose direct deposit information has been updated or changed as a proactive measure to safeguard employee data.

UCPath Email Notification Overview

The email notification will be sent from UCPath when changes are made to an employee's direct deposit information and will provide contact instructions if the employee did not authorize the change. Please note that that these emails are legitimate and part of UCPath's enhanced security protocols.

When an email is received from UCPath informing that your direct deposit details in UCPath have been recently updated, please verify that you made these changes.

• If you authorized this change, no further action is required
• If you did not make this change, or if you're uncertain, it's important to contact UCPath right away to verify that your direct deposit account is still accurate

You may contact UCPath at (855) 982-7284, Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.

UCPath will continue to send these notifications to employees as long as security threats persist.
