Summary Sentence:

Electronic delivery helps ensure that your W-2 is delivered directly to you.

Full Summary:

Once your consent is given in OneUSG Connect, it carries forward each year and does not need to be repeated. 

You may now elect to receive your W‐2 statements online through OneUSG Connect. 

Federal regulations require that employees give their consent to receive the W-2 in an electronic format. Employees must consent to electronic delivery by December 31, 2021. Please note that OneUSG Connect will be unavailable to all University System of Georgia employees from 11:15 p.m. Friday, December 3, until 12 p.m. Saturday, December 4, for maintenance, and you will be unable to access it during this time. 

Follow these steps in our knowledge article, How Do I Submit My Consent to Receive an Electronic W-2 Form?

Once your consent is given in OneUSG Connect, it carries forward each year and does not need to be repeated. 

Why should you consent to electronic W-2? 

  1. Online delivery provides access to your W‐2 statement earlier than the traditional paper process. 
  2. Online delivery minimizes the chance that your W‐2 statement will get lost, misdirected or delayed during delivery or misplaced after received. 
  3. Employee-sensitive information is safer. Electronic delivery helps ensure that your W-2 is delivered directly to you and not opened/seen by the wrong person. 
  4. You can retrieve your W‐2 statements at any time of day and on weekends. 
  5. You can print multiple copies at your convenience. 
  6. Go Green! Contribute to institutional cost savings (e.g., forms, printing and postage expense). 
  7. W‐2 statements will remain online for multiple years. If you do not consent, a paper W-2 will be mailed to your current address on record.
