In this case, it is the responsibility of the department to provide the necessary information to Disbursements by January 15th of the following year so that an IRS Form 1099-MISC, Miscellaneous Income, can be generated.

Best practice is to obtain IRS Form W-9, Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification, initially from each participant for compliance to IRS Form 1099 information reporting.
