Update My Personal Info

This webpage contains information to assist employees with changing their name, updating their home address, campus address, or emergency contact information.

Change My Name:

  • Stop by the Human Resources Office with your new Social Security card or a copy. This is required before we can update your name in our payroll system. To avoid Social Security mismatches, the name in our payroll system must match the name on file with the Social Security Administration. One of our HR Processing/Records team members will update your name in our payroll system. Note: A new Social Security card can be obtained through your local Social Security Administration Office. Social Security Online provides instructions on updating Social Security card information.
  • Complete a new W-4‌. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires that the name on the Social Security card match the W-4 and W-2 forms. If your name change is due to a marriage or divorce, then your withholding status and possibly your number of allowances, will need to be updated. Your W-4 address may also need to be updated.
  • Complete a new Direct Deposit Authorization‌ if the name on your bank account has changed.
  • If you are not in the Pensacola area, please reach out to Human Resources at 850.474.2694 or hr@uwf.edu for alternative options.

Note: People First (State of Florida benefits plan administrator) will update overnight when your name changes in our payroll system.
