Changing your address

Employee Self-Service (ESS) includes employee's home address which is the official address used for tax and health benefit purposes. It also includes mailing address, which is used for the Commuter Benefits program. The HR representative may request proof of residency at a later time to ensure that the employee meets the NYC Residency Requirements for City employees. For specific information on employee residency requirements, employees can go to "Popular Links" on the Employee Self-Service Portal, DCAS Personel Services bulletin on residency requirements, or see their agency HR representative.

Note: The City does not use PO Box address, please enter the actual physical address.

Address changes take effect in ESS immediately.
