This evidentiary record constitutes a formal demand for audit pursuant to California Government Code § 8546.7, which provides that every contract involving expenditure of public funds exceeding $10,000 “shall be subject to the examination and audit of the California State Auditor.” The Legislature specifically intended this provision to apply to the Regents of the University of California. The contracts at issue — including UC’s systemwide agreements with Anthem Blue Cross, Accolade, and Via Benefits (Willis Towers Watson) — each involve public fund expenditures far exceeding this threshold.
The University of California constitutes a “public trust” under California Constitution, Article IX, Section 9. As a self-insured employer, UC is bound by Cal. Code Regs. Title 8, § 15400.2: claim files where future benefits may be payable “shall not” be destroyed.
A prior formal audit request was submitted November 9, 2021, to Chief Compliance & Audit Officer Alexander Bustamante. UC has never responded. This is the second such demand.

The reader has now reviewed eleven chapters of evidence. This final chapter identifies every regulatory authority empowered to act on that evidence.
The matrix below catalogues twenty (20) oversight bodies organized in four tiers: Federal Agencies (5), State of California Agencies (7), University of California Internal Oversight (6), and State of Arizona Agencies (2). Each entry identifies the body’s jurisdictional authority, the specific violations within its purview, the evidentiary chapters containing supporting documentation, and the method of filing.
This chapter serves as constructive notice: if the University of California does not provide a substantive written response to the demand in Chapter 14 within thirty (30) days, formal complaints will be filed with every applicable authority identified below, accompanied by the relevant evidentiary chapters.

Additional federal taxes paid by Harold: $56,398. In 2015, UC issued multiple conflicting 1099-R forms for the same tax year. | CH 7: UC’s Own Tax Filings Expose the Switch — $149K in Harm CH 6: Schrödinger’s Retiree — Ten Contradictions UC Cannot Reconcile (Contradictions 4, 5) | IRS Form 3949-A (Information Referral); IRS Whistleblower Form 211; Amended Returns (Form 1040-X for each affected year) | ||||

| 3 | U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services (HHS), Office for Civil Rights | 45 CFR Parts 160, 164 (HIPAA Privacy & Security Rules); HITECH Act § 13402 (Breach Notification); HHS enforcement authority over covered entities and business associates | Twenty-five documented data breaches (2005–2026) compromised Protected Health Information and Personally Identifiable Information of UC employees, retirees, and dependents including the Harold family. UC and Anthem Blue Cross failed to implement adequate safeguards required by HIPAA Security Rule. | CH 5: 25 Data Breaches Exposed the Systems That Were Supposed to Protect Harold’s Records (complete chronological archive with HHS OCR case numbers) | HHS OCR Complaint Portal (ocrportal.hhs.gov); OCR Regional Office, Region IX (San Francisco) | ||||
| 4 | Social Security Administration (SSA) | 42 U.S.C. § 405(c)(2)(A) (Employer Reporting Obligations); 20 CFR § 422.120 (Earnings Records) | UC’s contradictory classifications of Harold’s income (“disability income,” “retirement income,” “medically separated,” “retiree,” “disabled”) over multiple years have created inconsistencies in Harold’s Social Security earnings record at age 65 (Medicare-enrolled 2025). | CH 7: UC’s Own Tax Filings Expose the Switch — $149K in Harm CH 6: Schrödinger’s Retiree — Ten Contradictions UC Cannot Reconcile (Contradiction 3: Five Classifications) | SSA Field Office; Form SSA-7050 (Earnings Information Request); Written request for earnings record audit | ||||
| 5 | Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) | 42 U.S.C. § 2000e (Title VII); 42 U.S.C. § 12101 (ADA); 29 U.S.C. § 621 (ADEA); Prior EEOC Complaint on File | Harold filed a prior EEOC complaint arising from employment with UCLA PD. The continuing pattern of institutional conduct — undermining settlement terms, failing to honor disability status, denying benefits to a documented whistleblower now aged 65 with cancer — constitutes a continuing violation. Harold is a member of multiple protected classes (ADA, ADEA). | CH 8: The Laws UC Violated — Constructive Notice, Breach of Contract, and Whistleblower Retaliation (IRAC Issue IV) CH 14: Demand to Stop Medical Coverage Transfers (Part II: Legal History) CH 6: Schrödinger’s Retiree (All Contradictions) | EEOC Los Angeles District Office; Charge of Discrimination (EEOC Form 5); Reference to prior complaint on file | ||||
| TIER 2 — STATE OF CALIFORNIA (7) | |||||||||
| 6 | California State Auditor | Gov. Code § 8546.7 (Public Fund Audit Authority — Legislature specifically intended this to apply to UC Regents); Gov. Code §§ 8543–8548 (Bureau of State Audits); Gov. Code §§ 8547–8547.12 (UC Whistleblower Protection Act) | UC expends public funds exceeding $10,000 in administering Harold’s benefits. The documented contradictions constitute potential “improper governmental activity” (Gov. Code § 8547.2): “any violation of state or federal law,” “significant waste or misuse of state resources,” and “gross misconduct, incompetence, or inefficiency.” The Chief Compliance Officer has failed to respond to a formal audit request for over four years. | CH 7: UC’s Own Tax Filings Expose the Switch — $149K in Harm CH 14: Demand to Stop Medical Coverage Transfers — Produce the Records or Explain Their Absence CH 6: Schrödinger’s Retiree — Ten Contradictions UC Cannot Reconcile CH 8: The Laws UC Violated — Constructive Notice, Breach of Contract, and Whistleblower Retaliation | Whistleblower Hotline: 800-952-5665; Online at auditor.ca.gov | ||||
| 7 | California Dept. of Insurance (CDI) | Cal. Ins. Code § 790.03 (Unfair Practices); Cal. Ins. Code § 10277 (Continuation/Guaranteed Renewability); 45 CFR § 147.120 (ACA Preventive Services) | Four UC and Blue Cross systems produce mutually contradictory information about Harold’s coverage status, plan type, coverage dates, and premium responsibility. Blue Cross records show only approximately two years of coverage and claim Harold cancelled prior coverage — factually incorrect. $727.48/month deducted for coverage that may not be correctly reflected in any system. | CH 3: Four Systems Can’t Agree on Coverage — $727/Month Deducted for Insurance That May Not Exist CH 4: Six Recorded Calls Capture UC Agents Admitting Coverage Failures on Tape CH 5: 25 Data Breaches Exposed the Systems That Were Supposed to Protect Harold’s Records | CDI Consumer Hotline: 800-927-4357; Online at insurance.ca.gov | ||||
| 8 | California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) | Cal. Rev. & Tax Code §§ 17041–17049 (Income Tax); Cal. Rev. & Tax Code § 19542 (Penalty for False Returns by Information Providers) | UC’s erroneous 1099-R classifications caused Harold to overpay California state income taxes by $23,848 (tax years 2016–2018, while a Burbank, CA resident at 9.3% marginal rate). | CH 7: UC’s Own Tax Filings Expose the Switch — $149K in Harm (CA Tax Impact, 2016–2018) CH 6: Schrödinger’s Retiree (Contradiction 5) | FTB Problem Resolution: 800-852-5711; Amended returns (Form 540X) | ||||
| 9 | California Attorney General, Privacy Enforcement & Data Security | Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.82 (Data Breach Notification); Cal. Civ. Code §§ 1798.100–1798.199.100 (CCPA/CPRA); Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 17200 (Unfair Business Practices) | Twenty-five documented data breaches (2005–2026) exposed PII including SSNs, medical records, financial data. UC employee Ida Fong admitted March 18, 2021 that records were “lost during computer system upgrades” — correlating with the breach timeline. | CH 5: 25 Data Breaches Exposed the Systems That Were Supposed to Protect Harold’s Records CH 3: Four Systems Can’t Agree on Coverage (data corruption) | AG Privacy Enforcement (oag.ca.gov/privacy); Consumer Protection: 800-952-5225 | ||||
| 10 | California Division of Workers’ Compensation (DWC) | Cal. Lab. Code §§ 3200–6002; Cal. Code Regs. Title 8, § 15400.2 (Self-Insured Employer Record Retention: claim files with future benefits “SHALL NOT be destroyed”); Cal. Code Regs. Title 8, § 10102 | UC, as a self-insured employer, was legally prohibited from destroying Harold’s workers’ compensation claim file because the March 2003 settlement included future benefits. UC’s admitted inability to locate these records constitutes a violation of § 15400.2. The Octagon Risk Services letter (August 8, 2001) establishing $3,075.98/month permanent disability is the contractual baseline. | CH 8: The Laws UC Violated (IRAC Issues III and V) CH 14: Demand to Stop Medical Coverage Transfers (Record Reconstruction) CH 6: Schrödinger’s Retiree (Contradiction 1) | DWC: 800-736-7401; Written complaint to Self-Insurance Plans Unit | ||||

Code §§ 12900–12996 (FEHA); Prior DFEH complaint on file; DFEH investigated and issued right-to-sue letter | Harold filed a prior DFEH complaint. DFEH investigated and issued a right-to-sue letter. The continuing pattern directed at a documented whistleblower who is now 65, disabled, and undergoing cancer treatment constitutes a continuing violation under FEHA. | CH 8: The Laws UC Violated (IRAC Issue IV) CH 14: Demand to Stop Medical Coverage Transfers (Part II: Legal History) CH 10: Master Evidence Index and Court Records | CRD Online (calcivilrights.ca.gov); Hotline: 800-884-1684 | ||||

Code § 5804 (Continuing Jurisdiction Over Settlements) | The WCAB retains continuing jurisdiction over settlements. UC’s unilateral modification of settlement terms — converting disability income to retirement income, imposing premium deductions, changing tax classification — without an amended agreement or WCAB approval may violate the original settlement order. | CH 8: The Laws UC Violated (IRAC Issue III: Breach of Contract) CH 7: UC’s Own Tax Filings Expose the Switch — $149K in Harm (Code 3 → Code 2/7 switch) | WCAB Los Angeles District Office; Petition to Reopen or Enforce Settlement | ||||

XVI, § 17 (“Sole and exclusive fiduciary responsibility”); Regents Policy 7600 (UCRS — “created for exclusive benefit” of participants) | The Regents bear constitutional fiduciary duty to “administer the system in a manner that will assure prompt delivery of benefits.” Five mutually exclusive classifications of a single participant’s status demonstrate a systemic failure over ten or more years. | CH 6: Schrödinger’s Retiree — Ten Contradictions UC Cannot Reconcile CH 8: The Laws UC Violated (Fiduciary Duty) CH 14: Demand to Stop Medical Coverage Transfers CH 14: Demand to Stop Medical Coverage Transfers ($341,000) | Office of Secretary of the Regents; Written petition to Chair | ||||
| 14 | Regents Compliance and Audit Committee | Regents Bylaw 23.5; Appendix B (Charter: “strategic direction and oversight” over “quality and integrity of financial reporting” and “applicable legal, regulatory and policy requirements”) | The CCAO is required under Bylaw 23.5 to report “any significant concerns regarding the Office of the President that could result in substantial financial, reputational or other harm.” A $341,000 demand with nine chapters of evidence and a four-year-old unanswered audit request constitutes such a concern. | CH 14: Demand to Stop Medical Coverage Transfers CH 6: Schrödinger’s Retiree CH 14: Demand to Stop Medical Coverage Transfers ($341,000) | Through CCAO (#15); Direct petition to Committee Chair | ||||

| 17 | UC Whistleblower Hotline & Locally Designated Official | Gov. Code §§ 8547–8547.12 (Whistleblower Protection Act); UC Whistleblower Policy; UC Non-Retaliation Policy | The documented contradictions constitute “improper governmental activities” under Gov. Code § 8547.2. UC’s own policy states: “Not to [investigate] would, in and of itself, be an Improper Governmental Activity.” | All evidentiary chapters (CH 3–10, CH 12–15) CH 14: Demand to Stop Medical Coverage Transfers (Part II: Protected Whistleblower Status) | UC Hotline: 800-403-4744; ucop.edu/uc-whistleblower; UCLA LDO | ||||
