Electronic Delivery of Forms W-2 and 1095-C

Starting in 2018, Forms W-2 and 1095-C can be delivered electronically instead of mailed to the address on file. If you signed up for electronic distribution before 1/11/19, you will receive an email notifying you of the documents being ready for access.

Please Note:

  1. You will be required to be on a UWM campus network computer to access the documents.
  2. If you work off campus or out of state, you should not elect electronic delivery of Forms W-2 or 1095-C, as UWM does not have a VPN structure for employees to utilize.
