The most significant change to this booklet and its specifications lies in the RS (State) Record for W-2 reporting: positions 360 – 370 were revised to accommodate Federal Mass Wages, while positions 371 – 381 were revised to accommodate reporting for Paid Family Medical Leave (PFML) contributions.
