What is the Deadline for Submitting Tax/403(b) Changes?

Tax Withholding forms (W-4 Federal, DE-4 State) must be submitted by the 15th of the current month to take effect on your next paycheck. These can also be submitted through Employee Self Service (ESS).

Any voluntary deductions such as 403(b) must also be submitted by the 15th of the current month to take effect on your next paycheck. For 403(b) new deductions, there may be a delay due to the timing of confirming you have an active account with the provider. All 403(b)/457 changes must go through OMNI by filling out an online Salary Reduction Agreement.
