Arbitrator Martin Scheinman's latest decision on Spring Break 2020 compensation for UFTers with negative CAR balances was decided on April 26(see below) but the UFT put out nothing until tonight.
This from the UFT:
The independent arbitrator who awarded vacation days to UFT members who worked during the 2020 spring break has issued a subsequent ruling to settle a dispute between the Department of Education and the UFT over how to treat members with negative CAR balances. The DOE gave members with negative CAR balances only four CAR days and three vacation days when they worked seven days over the spring break. The UFT strongly disagreed with that policy and asked the arbitrator to intervene. The arbitrator ruled on April 26 that members with negative CAR balances on May 1, 2020, are entitled to two CAR days for every CAR day that the DOE originally gave them since the new vacation day the arbitrator created is worth more than a CAR day. Under the new ruling, members who had a negative CAR balance on May 1, 2020, will receive three vacation days and then have their CAR deficit reduced on a two-for-one basis. If the negative balance is eliminated before the member has been fully compensated for time worked over the spring break, the remainder will be given as additional vacation days. This decision has no impact on those members who already received their seven vacation days.

Ask your payroll secretary
8:07 - you can also check the payroll portal.
Every year I ask my payroll secretary for a print out of days used and car day balance. Payroll portal doesn’t give you details like the print outs from secretary.
Our Secretary automatically gives us a copy of the printout at the end of the year, but the portal is a good tool that you can use anytime you want to track what you have remaining, or what's been added.
