I just finalized a report and found an error. How do I delete this transaction once I’ve finalized?
If, after you’ve clicked the “finalize report” button and transmitted your electronic form, you realize a correction is needed, you will need to have the transaction voided. To do this, please call the fringe benefit office and give them the invoice number from the incorrect report so that the incorrect report can be voided and you may submit a corrected report.
Do I have to wait until an erroneous report is voided before I put a corrected one through?
No, you do not have to wait to submit a corrected report. If, however, you see any incorrect reports remaining after you have requested it be voided, please contact the benefit office.
How should I notify the fund office that I will no longer be active in your jurisdiction?

Enter your bank account number as normal and for “Routing Number” enter the first 3 digits of your Institution number followed by the transit number with no dashes or spaces.
