Frequently Asked Fair Accounting and Payroll-Related Questions

Q. If I don't use CFSA's accounting or payroll services, can I still call CFSA with payroll-related questions?

A. Absolutely. We're available to answer any payroll questions you may have regardless of the accounting software you use.

Q. How do I enroll in the 401k/457 deferred compensation program?

A. Enrolling in the Savings Plus Program is as easy as filling out an Enrollment Agreement. You can download the agreement from the Savings Plus Web site, or talk to a Savings Plus representative at (866) 566-4777.

Q. When can I take out retirement funds that have been invested in the PST (part-time, seasonal, temporary) Employee Retirement Plan?

A. You can retrieve them once you've permanently separated from all state employment.

Q. How do I withdraw my PST funds once I've retired or left state employment?

A. You need to complete a PST Retirement Plan Benefit Payment Application (STD 951) and mail it to the Savings Plus Program office at: 1515 S Street, North Building, Suite 108, Sacramento, CA 95814-7243. You can pick
up the form from your personnel office or by calling the Savings Plus office at (916) 322-5070.

Q. How are fairs reimbursed for unemployment insurance expenses?

A. The legislature annually appropriates funds to the Department of Food and Agriculture to reimburse California's fairs for their unemployment insurance contributions. Because the fairs' yearly contributions typically exceed the legislature's appropriation, CFSA,
as the appointed unemployment insurance program administrator for California's fairs, reimburses fairs a percentage of their paid out expenses based on fair classification. (Remember, CFSA doesn't reimburse you for any penalties or interest you've incurred.)

To be reimbursed, you need to provide CFSA with:

1. A copy of form DE 2176 from the Employment Development Department (EDD). This form shows your fair's name, the pay period ending, and the amount of unemployment insurance owed for that period.

If you use an accounting service to process your payroll (other than CFSA's PayNet service), please provide us with a copy of the statement of deposits and filings. This also shows your fair's name, pay period ended and the amount of unemployment insurance owed for that period.

2. A copy of the check issued to EDD for unemployment insurance. If you use an accounting service, the copy of deposits and filings is all you need to submit.
