MyData Refreshed as of: Monday, June 10, 2024

System Status Is Operational

GetData and MyData will be offline Saturday April 27th from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.

MyData/GetData Access Issues:

If your access was recently updated, or removed, please go to oneAccess and request the appropriate role again. If oneAccess still displays a current access role, please revoke/remove that previous role before applying again. Any HR employee assignment updates on July 1, 2022 or after, resets your access automatically.

You will need to apply for access again. This is a regular security process.

If you need to review your role, or if you need more information about access, here is the link for the MyData Access Job Aid.

Any other issues with access go to Request Software Application Technical Support and open a ticket for MyData.
