"PBGC intends to modify its information collection to require additional information about missing participants in two categories in order to properly withhold taxes when such participants are located and their benefits claimed and paid. For DC plans that permit Roth accounts, PBGC intends to require a breakdown of qualified and non-qualified Roth amounts transferred to PBGC (if any), and if non-qualified Roth amounts are being transferred, the date the first Roth contribution was made. Where relevant for DB and DC plans, PBGC intends to require identification of the portion of a participant's benefit transfer amount treated as foreign-source income, and if so, for DB plans how that determination was made. PBGC as administrator of the Missing Participants Program relies on information provided and certified to by the plan administrator or plan sponsor as applicable."
