To use the State's web site to obtain a replacement W-2 statement, an employee MUST have their most current pay stub which contains the information that will allow them security access to their record.

• Online pay stub history (12 rolling months)
• Retrieve/print W2 information (3 years history)
• Direct Deposit authorization for changes
