Benefit Diversions
The Benefit Diversion Accounts section of the Account document should no longer be used to divert benefits from a Contracts and Grants funded account when the sponsored agreement specifically indicates that the account does not allow benefits to be expensed.
Benefit Diversions are now known as Benefit Redirects and are processed in UCPath. For assistance with a Redirect please contact the UCD UCPath GL team at ucpath@ucdavis.edu.
"Benefits" refer to UC-sponsored health and welfare benefits, including, but not limited to, employee medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans. Visit the UC Human Resources and Benefits website for more information on the UC-offered benefits.
Identifying the Benefit Object Level
There are four (4) different object levels that can be Redirected:
| Object Level | Description | Object Code |
| BENF | Employee Benefits | SUB6* |
| GFEE | Graduate Fee Remission | 8590 |
| GSHP | Graduate Student Health Insurance | 8570 |
| NRTR | Non-Resident Tuition Remission | 8970 |
*There are many other object codes that report to Object Level BENF; run the Object Lookup (14) in FIS Decision Support (DS) for a complete list.
The Sub-Fund Group Type Codes that allow benefits to be redirected are in the CGWFEDAPP roll-up:
