What happens if you do not choose any option?

If you do not choose one of these options, we will withhold Federal taxes as if you were a married

individual with three allowances. The amount we will withhold depends on your monthly pension.

What if you want to pick a different option later?

You may change your decision at any time. To choose a different option, simply call PBGC's Customer

Contact Center at 1-800-400-7242. We will then send you a tax withholding form to complete. Depending

on when we receive it, we will make the change by the next month or the month after that.

What if you don't live in the United States?

If you live outside the United States, you cannot elect option A. You may be eligible for special tax

treatment under a tax treaty with the country you reside in. We will send you additional information after

you file this form.

When determining whether to have Federal tax withholdings you may find it helpful to read the IRS

instructions for completing the IRS Form W-4P (Withholding Certificate for Pension or Annuity Payments). If

you would like a copy, you can either call the PBGC Customer Contact Center at 1-800-400-7242 and request

a copy be sent to you or you can print a copy from the IRS Internet site under Forms and Instructions at
