W-2 and 1095-C Access is available in UCPATH

For instructions on how to access click here.

If you have separated from UC Merced, you will access UCPath through the former employee access site located on the main UCPath location access list. If you are having issues accessing this site, please reach out to UCPath Center directly at 855-982-7284.

Former employees living outside the U.S. cannot complete multi-factor authentication (MFA) and therefore cannot access the UC Former Employee Portal.

At this time, there is no option to bypass MFA to enable access to the UC Former Employee Portal for those who only have an international phone number. Workaround for International Former Employees. Until a permanent fix is implemented, former employees outside the U.S. who need documents should contact UCPath for support:

Phone (if available): 855-982-7284
Email: ucpath@universityofcalifornia.edu

UCPath associates can assist and provide the necessary documents via secure email. If you have specific cases that were closed without a resolution, please include the case numbers for the cases to be reviewed.
