It is important to review and update your Address/Personal Information before the spring semester ends, especially if you have relocated, plan to move OR if you will terminate UW employment at the end of the semester.
IMPORTANT: Update Your Address/Personal Information Before End of Spring Semester
It is important to review and update your Address/Personal Information before the spring semester ends, especially if you have relocated, plan to move OR if you will terminate UW employment at the end of the semester.
If you terminate employment, you will no longer have access to the UW Human Resource System (HRS) to access documents such as your tax statements.
Why is it Important to Update Your Address/Personal Information?
- To receive important notices regarding benefits, paychecks, or UW employment.
- To make sure your W-2 Tax Form is sent each January to the correct address (if you do not choose electronic only distribution).
- To ensure your addresses, phone numbers, name, emergency contacts and disability/veteran status are accurate.
- So your employer may contact you if the need arises.
To Review and Update Your Address/Personal Information
- Log into the portal for UW-Madison or for all other UW System institutions.
- Launch the Personal Information tile.
- Review your information on the Personal Information page.
- Click on the Update My Personal Information link to update your information.
- Updating information in the portal may not update information for your benefit plans. See instructions for changing your name or address for your benefits plans.
Student employees: You MUST update your address using BOTH the instructions above AND with your campus student information system.
Paycheck Direct Deposit
If you currently have direct deposit, and you will be terminating employment at the end of the semester, it is important that you do not close your bank account BEFORE your last paycheck is direct deposited. Make sure you have received all payments from the UW before you close your account.
