In response to the economic crisis stemming from the pandemic, the President issued an executive order on August 3, 2020, allowing for the deferral of the withholding and remittance of the employee share of Social Security tax, effective September 1 through December 31, 2020.   The amount deferred must be repaid from January 1, 2021, through April 30, 2021. As of now, UVA will not participate in this payroll-tax deferral, until the IRS issues further guidance or definitive legislation is passed.  Please contact the HR Solution Center with any questions or concerns.
