Leaving a job should not leave you at a loss when tax season arrives. If you previously worked for Henry Ford Health and need your W-2, understanding the former employee process can help you obtain your document without unnecessary delays.
Henry Ford Health mails a paper W-2 to all terminated employees, even if they previously consented to electronic delivery. Former employees who need another copy can submit an online W2 Reprint Request and receive it at the email address provided in their request.
Although current employees can access tax documents through Employee Self Service (ESS), former employees should use Henry Ford Health’s dedicated reprint request process.
How Do Henry Ford Former Employees Get Their W-2?
After your employment ends, Henry Ford Health sends your W-2 by mail. Your previous electronic delivery preference does not change this arrangement: terminated employees receive a paper copy regardless of whether they enrolled in online delivery while employed.
If your original document has gone missing, never arrived, or was sent to an outdated address, you can request a replacement online. Keeping your mailing address accurate helps prevent a straightforward administrative task from becoming a stumbling block.
How to Request Your Henry Ford Former Employee W-2 Online
Step 1: Open the Official W2 Reprint Request Page
Visit the Henry Ford Health W2 Reprint Request page.
This form provides a direct route for requesting a replacement tax document without relying on access to your former employee account.
Step 2: Complete Your Identification and Employment Details
Enter the information requested on the form, including your name, employee ID, date of birth, last four digits of your Social Security number, job location, and job title.
Provide an accessible email address and a current telephone number so that your request contains accurate contact information.
Step 3: Include Any Address Change
If an incorrect address caused the delivery problem, indicate that your request includes an address change and supply your current address.
Step 4: Select the Required Tax Year
Choose the year or years for which you need a replacement W-2. Double-check your selections before submitting the form.
Step 5: Submit Your Request and Monitor Your Email
Complete the required fields and submit the request. Henry Ford Health states that W-2 reprints are emailed to the address supplied on the form. Its current-year reprint process opens February 15; requests submitted before that date are closed without further action.
Does Previous Electronic W-2 Consent Still Apply After Leaving?
Henry Ford Health’s electronic delivery arrangement applies during active employment. Once you become a terminated employee, you receive a paper W-2 by mail, even if you previously opted to receive your tax documents electronically.
Consequently, having downloaded W-2s through ESS in the past does not mean that the same delivery method will continue after your departure. If you need an electronic replacement, use the former employee reprint request process.
Can Former Employees Use Employee Self Service to Download W-2s?
The established online route for former employees is the W2 Reprint Request form. Do not assume that your previous ESS credentials will remain available after your employment ends.
For current employees, Henry Ford Health provides access through the Employee Self Service portal, using Microsoft single sign-on.
Within ESS, active employees can select “W2 Statement” under Hot Spots, or navigate to My Pay → W2 Statement. The process may prompt them to enter their Social Security number and date of birth before selecting “Year End Form” for the relevant year.
Active employees who have consented to electronic delivery can view or reprint their W-2s online for four years. That availability should not be interpreted as a guarantee of continued portal access after termination.
What to Do if Your Henry Ford W-2 Has Not Arrived
If you have not received your paper W-2, start by checking whether Henry Ford Health has your correct mailing address. A recent move can easily explain a missing document, particularly if your employment records still contain your previous address.
When the applicable reprint window opens, submit the online request and provide accurate contact details. If your tax year is unavailable, you cannot complete the form, or you need clarification about your request, contact Employee Services.
Avoid submitting a current-year request before February 15, since an early submission will be closed rather than held for later processing.

Conclusion
Accessing a Henry Ford former employee W-2 online begins with the dedicated reprint request page.
