Withholding changes can be made through the State Controller's Office portal Cal Employee Connect. Employees must first register and then enable MFA before being able to make changes. Select Employee Services from the top navigation bar and follow instructions within the application. These steps are outlined on our website or you may refer to the CEC Withholdings Change User Guide.
Note:
-
CEC processes Withholdings change requests by close of business Monday through Friday; please allow 24 hours for submitted changes to reflect in your CEC account. If the change is submitted Friday evening through Sunday, the changes will be processed the following Monday and changes may reflect in your CEC account as early as Tuesday morning.
