Greetings; 
We have received the above release for deployment to campus production. 
 
The release addresses the following changes for 2013 W2 support processes. 
Changes the process for reporting the health insurance costs on the Form W-2 for the 2013 tax year and beyond.  The new procedure removes calculations and manipulations related to health insurance reporting from the annual W-2 process.  The change will create DA transactions that will be applied during the Cleanup XX computes to end 2013. 
 
Includes Tier 2013 retirement codes.  The W-2 process references specific values of the EDB retirement code for setting the employee’s qualified pension indicator for the W-2.  This process has been modified to include the Tier 2013 retirement plan values W, A, and 6 (SR 84636) and will be reported in box 14 of the 2013 W-2. 
 
Modifies the reporting limits of Medicare taxes for high earners.  In CY 2013, an additional 0.9% Medicare tax was imposed on employee wages in excess of $200,000 that will be reported in Box 6 of the W-2 (SR 83719). 
 
Modifies the electronic SSA file.  New mandatory fields were added. 
 
Modifies the printed Form W-2 layout: update the printed tax year only. 
 
As always we intend to provide full volume testing before installation to production. 
 
Please approve as you become comfortable with the 2013 W2 changes. 

Please ignore the prior announcement with R2084 in the header.
 
Thanks!
