For ABP Retirement Plan Members

In addition to following the steps in Workday as referenced above, members of the Alternate Benefit Program retirement plan (AXA, Brighthouse, MassMutual, Prudential, TIAA, Valic, Voya) should be reminded that they will also need to change their address with their individual investment services provider.

Former Employees

Former Employees should send an e-mail to HR@kean.edu for direction on changing their address.

For Payroll Purposes

If you are current Kean University employee (i.e., full-time employee, adjunct, student employee) and you would like to change your name for payroll purposes, you may email workday@kean.edu to request a Legal Name Change. In order to process a Legal Name Change, the request must be accompanied by supporting legal documents, including for example an updated Social Security Card, marriage/divorce degree or other court order. Once the Office of Human Resources has received adequate support to process the change of name, Workday will be updated to reflect the employee's new name.

For Retirement Plan Members

If you would like to change your name with the New Jersey Division of Pensions and Benefits for retirement plan purposes, you will be required to initiate this process by completing an Affidavit of Name Change. (ABP participants will need to fill out the form as well, using check box "Other" for retirement system).  Please note that this form requires a notary signature. A notary is available in the Office of Human Resources. However, you are encouraged to contact benefits@kean.edu to coordinate an appointment.

You should also be reminded that members of the Alternate Benefit Program retirement plan (Equitable, Met Life/Brighthouse, Empower, TIAA, AIG, Voya) will also need to change their name with their individual investment services provider - Contacts for ABP Service Providers
