Honor a retiring colleague

Cornell employees who wish to forego a retirement gift and/or party may request their department make a donation to the Employee Emergency CARE Fund in their name. To arrange a departmental transfer, email carefund@cornell.edu.

 

Change or Stop Your Payroll Deduction

If you need to change or stop your payroll deduction, fill out the Payroll Deduction Authorization Form and send to Payroll UCO Mailbox, 377 Pine Tree Road, Ithaca, NY 14850, or fax to (607) 255-3198. 

 

Donations are not tax-deductible

The Employee Emergency CARE Fund provides support more broadly than allowed by the IRS definition of a workplace relief fund, especially to victims of domestic violence, and thus gifts to the fund are not tax deductible.
