Address Updates:

Verify that your address is current. Having your most current address on file is important because it can impact your benefits through the California Public Retirement System (CalPERS), as well as the timely delivery of your tax information such as W2s and 1095 statements. Details about your annual health care coverage statements (1095B, 1095C) can be found on the CALHR website. Please take a moment to verify that your address is current through the Self-Service Portal. If you have an address change, there are two ways to update your information:

1. Login to MyCSUDH Portal, select the Employees Tab, select My Personal Info, and select Maintain Personal Information or
2. Complete the Employee Action Request (EAR) Form and submit the completed form to the Payroll Secure Dropbox.

Note: In order for your W-2 to be mailed to the correct address, the address change must be completed by December 8, 2023.

Preferred Name Change

Employment records require the use of your legal name as it appears on your Social Security Card. However, CSU Dominguez Hills recognizes that some employees may wish to use a preferred first name other than their legal name to identify themselves. The university acknowledges that a preferred first name can and should be used where possible in the course of university business and education. To update, login to MyCSUDH Portal, select the Employees Tab, and select Preferred Name (Update).

• Maintain your personal information, such as; addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and emergency contact information.

Why is updating my emergency contact information so important? It is helpful if you provide the University with the name of at least one individual to contact in the event of an emergency.
