style='font-size:11.0pt;color:black'>For many years, references to the <u>Workers
Benefit Fund</u> have been identified with the letters “WCD” in
OSPA on the P090, P370, P191 screens and in all register reports, pay stubs and
direct deposit statements. OSPS has changed that outdated
reference to the more accurate “WBF” and that change is effective
today. We hope this update will provide clarity on the reference to
the Workers’ Benefit Fund which is the receiving entity for the funds
that are deducted from employee pay and matched by the employer. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
