Entering personal info might also be understandable. My employer gives a Christmas gift. This year they asked us to update a form with our temporary address if we were in a different location.

Absolutely, in the context of a physical item being shipped to you (especially if they can't just distribute it at the office), if it's not through payroll. (e.g. we had site-specific fun events in lieu of the annual holiday party)

But a cash bonus? That's the epitome of something that 1) should go through payroll and 2) should just get direct-deposited into your bank account as is the case with your regular paycheck. There's no reason why you'd need to provide any additional info.
