Church Treasurers, please look closely at the UMPIP Pastor line item, if applicable, on the January pension statement. Be sure that your withholding from your pastor’s paycheck matches to it. This amount may have increased on January 1 due to the auto-escalation feature of the UMPIP. If changes are needed to this amount on the pension bill, your pastor will have to submit a new Contribution Election form by January 29.
