Employer put my W2 through PA instead of DE, what are my next steps?

Hey, people who are much better at math than I am!

I worked for the Census Bureau in 2020.  I got my W2's.  I got 2 of them. It took me a bit to figure out  but eventually I got that one was DE and one was PA.  While I was working on submitting my taxes yesterday, I contacted my Census Boss for confirmation.  They had someone from the office call me, and say "Wait, that's not how those should read!  Those should strictly be DE, not PA and Philly!"  Which means I need to fix my submission.  But I'm not sure how.  My state returns haven't gone through yet.  Even if I was able to stop them, how do I put the correct data in?  I mean obviously, don't put the wrong data in again, but what is the right number?  Do I contact Pennsylvania and Philly and ask for correction / money back?  Or will that straighten out automatically when my DE return doesn't go through?

Help!
