  • USPS-R 6.29.2 Release Notes

    • This issue corrects the items CCA requires for tax year 2020 on the W2 submission.
    • If you have already created the CCA file for your district in redesign, you should regenerate the CCA submission.
  • USPS-R 6.30.0 Release Notes
    • Bug Fixes
      • Correct bug that was incorrectly adding employer pickup values to the history. These values were never used if the employee was not a pick up employee, but it was confusing to see the values in the payment grids.
    • Improvements
      • Improved the AFFORD report to use the determined date range for the employee in the Days and Month calculation
      • Allow Non-Taxable Reimbursement to be saved without applying to retirement
  • USPS-R 6.30.1 Release Notes
    • If the user entered a '-' character in the W2 Configuration Submitter EIN field AND the district was setup to submit for themselves, the dash was included in the RA record.
      • This will cause the file to be rejected.
    • Once this change is installed, the district can rerun the submission and it will correctly remove the '-' character in the RA record.
