This page provides information on what to do if a check is lost, destroyed, or stale-dated and how to get a check replacement.
Employees that have misplaced a paycheck, have a damaged or destroyed paycheck, or have a paycheck more than 180 days old may request a replacement check.
Process to request replacement check
Employees that have misplaced a check are asked to wait 7-10 business days to see if the original check can be found. If this creates a hardship or if the check was never received, and it has been verified that a check was issued, the employee can request a replacement check. Steps to getting a replacement check:
- Contact your department payroll representative or Service Channel to confirm a check was issued.
- Download and complete the Declaration of Lost or Destroyed UCD Check form.
- Information such as check number, amount and date can be reviewed online. Use UCPath portal, or contact your Service Center.
- Submit completed form to Payroll Services through campus mail.
Please make sure to indicate where you want to receive the replacement check at the bottom of the form.
Work with your Service Channel payroll team or department payroll representative for resolution.
Payments mailed to home address
All paper paychecks are mailed to the home address on file on pay day via the U.S. Postal Service. If paper paychecks are not received after 5 days from pay day, please contact the UCPath Center:
