What is the process to pay a deceased employee’s beneficiary?

1. Prepare the worksheet in the link below.

2. Create a HIP Ticket and attach the worksheet.

  • Employee passed in current year: Wages not subject to Fed/State Income Tax Withholdings.  Wages subject to SS/Medicare/FUTA.
  • Employee pass in prior year: Wages not subject to Fed/State Income Tax Withholdings or SS/Medicare/FUTA.

3. Please note there are two (2) sections for deductions to help with calculating taxes correctly:

  • PCP Deductions: Pre-Tax deductions like EUTF deductions.
  • Other Deductions: Deductions such as ERS deductions or Statutory Dues.

4. Please remember to include the following:

  • Full UAC string
  • Payroll Number
  • Fund
  • Fiscal Year
  • Appropriation
  • Department
  • Subdivision/Activity
  • Object
