  • The employee is still actively employed by your agency or any other State agency; or
  • The employee is due any regular and/or lump sum payments that are equal to or exceed the amount to be refunded.

AC 230s received after these deadlines may not be reflected in the 2007 W-2 Statements. Therefore, agencies will be responsible for issuing a corrected W-2 for each affected employee.
