Personal Data - Change Existing Record
Use this procedure to make a correction to an existing Personal Data (0002) infotype record.
Be sure to notify your benefits processor immediately of any corrections to an employee's name, social security number, date of birth, gender designation for health ins, or marital status, so they can make any necessary corrections in Pay1 and with DRS.
When correcting a Social Security Number, be sure to work with OFM ITS at HereToHelp@ofm.wa.gov to ensure all downstream systems are also corrected.
A Social security number needs to be corrected in Pay1 on the same day it was corrected in HRMS; otherwise Pay1 will create another record for the employee with the new social security number.
