1. When are W-2 statements issued and mailed?
W-2s are printed by the State Controller's Office and issued on approximately the 15th of January. They are mailed to the most current address on file with the CSU, Chico Human Resources Service Center (in CMS-HR) as of December 12th of the previous year.
The State Controller's Office will print/mail employee's 2012 Form W-2 Wage and Tax Statement by mid January 2013. This includes wages paid in 2012 (December 2011 - November 2012 pay periods). W-2's are mailed to your home address on file with the campus Human Resources Services Center (as noted in the Portal). The bottom of the pay stubs and direct deposit advances for the October and November pay period will include this information. If a form is undeliverable by the U.S. Postal Service it should be returned to the Human Resources Services Center (HRSC). If you do not receive your Form W-2, please contact HRSC at (530) 898-6771.
In the event you lose your W-2, or require a duplicate copy for another reason, you can request one. You may obtain a Standard Form 436 (Duplicate Wage and Tax Statement Request) from HRSC in Kendall Hall 220. The request must include your name, Social Security Number, the tax year(s) being requested, your mailing address, a daytime telephone number, and your authorizing signature. There is an $8.50 processing fee per tax year requested (payable to the State Controller’s Office).
