John Hancock platform Sch D question

[ESOP Guy]

I am reviewing a KSOP Form 5500. The 401(k) portion of the plan is invested at John Hancock via their platform. The person who prepared the form used J.H. tool to download the Sch D information into F.T. William our 5500 software. It appears all the funds they are invested in are Pooled Separated Accounts (PSA) and need to be reported on a Sch D.

When they do that we get the same EIN for all the funds. Here is the odd part the plan number is 000 for all of them.

1) I really am thinking the 3 digit plan number can't be 000

2) I would expect the 3 digit plan number to be different for each fund

Those of you who use J.H. for their clients is the EIN with a plan number 000 sound right? If not, do you have any idea what we could be doing wrong to get this resutl?

Thanks.

000 is correct - that is the three digit number to be used for a PSA. See instructions for the Schedule D.
