Employee Address Changes
When an employee changes their address, they must notify the appropriate State Agencies of the change.
All employees (including student workers) must follow the procedures below for an employee address change in order for Central Payroll Bureau (CPB) to be notified of their address change.
- Log in to the Payroll Online Service Center and complete the Update Address/W4 (Tax Withholding) electronic form (You will need to adjust your Federal/State exemptions otherwise they will default)
-
Updating your address in the POSC will also update your address for the following areas:
- Health benefits with the State and medical vendors (i.e. Carefirst BCBS, CVS Caremark, United Concordia, etc.)
- Retirement accounts (MD State Pension, TIAA, Fidelity, and MSRP/Nationwide)
- PeopleSoft (the UMBC payroll system)
Please note: You MUST update your tax information in order to keep the same withholding in place. Once you update your address in the POSC, it can take 2 – 4 weeks for all agencies to see the new address in their systems. If you file a exempt for Federal or Maryland taxes you must complete a paper form to update your address.
-
OR
- Complete the MW507 (W4/D4 for DC residents or W4/WV/IT-104 for West Virginia residents) form AND submit to the Department of Human Resources. While working remotely, employees should send their updated tax forms (and direct deposit forms) directly to the address on the bottom of the form (Central Payroll Bureau).
NOTE: If you are a recently terminated employee, you must change your address directly with Central Payroll Bureau at 410-260-7401 in order for your latest W2 to be mailed to your correct address. You do not need to update your address with UMBC.
