Reminder: Check Your Personal Information and Pay Statement Deductions for Accuracy

Please take some time to review and update your personal information on record, as well as check your January pay statement to ensure accuracy of your benefit elections.

Please review the following:

Personal Information:

• Name
• Home/ Mailing addresses
• Phone numbers

Benefits:

• Current Benefit elections/coverage
• Wellness incentive
• Flexible spending enrollment/ deductions

Payroll and Compensation:

• Tax Data (Martial Status/Allowances for Federal and State)
• Taxes (i.e., Social Security Tax, Medicare Tax, Federal Income Tax, and State Income Tax – if applicable)
• Deductions (Before-Tax and After-Tax)
• Direct Deposit Accounts

Newly elected benefits for January of 2024 should be reflected on your January paycheck. Please notify HRbenefits@missouristate.edu immediately if there is a discrepancy in your enrollment and your deductions.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) encourages taxpayers to do a “paycheck checkup” to make sure the right amount of tax is taken out of your pay for your personal situation.  Use the Withholding Calculator on IRS.gov.

Please remember, it is your responsibility to ensure that your information is up-to-date and we do recommend that you review your paystubs monthly for continued accuracy of deductions.
