This release contains the necessary changes to re-activate the ScholarShare 
program after the transfer to TIAA-CREF.

For phase II, a one-time process was developed to convert the existing EDB 
ScholarShare data to the new transit routing and account numbers. The one-
time process updates the EDB and produce change records for the standard 
PPP180 audit report.

Note: the new transit routing and account numbers will not be used at this 
time, since the ACH transmittal will be handled at the campus level.

ScholarShare deductions will be re-activated.

During each payroll compute, PPS will take ScholarShare contributions from 
gross pay (this will happen automatically once the GTN is re-activated) and 
record the deductions on a new ScholarShare interface file (new process). 
After each compute, locations will send an ACH transmission in the amount of 
the total ScholarShare deductions for that compute. Locations will also send 
UCOP their ScholarShare files, which will include a totals record. Each ACH 
amount must exactly match the total represented in a single FTP file.

UCOP will encrypt the individual campus files and make them available to BFDS. 

The timing of this release is urgent. The deadline for implementation is prior to 
the first compute for April earnings that have any ScholarShare deductions. 
Phase I (from Release 2023 which addressed the reconciliation process 
between the TIAA CREF file and the EDB records for ScholarShare deductions) 
has to be completed before this release can be installed. Campuses should not 
install this release until the errors for their site from Phase I are resolved.

As always your prompt approval is appreciated.
