I found out yesterday, that even IF state withholding is shown, Pacific Life does not put in the state ID number...and recipients have to call in to their Customer Support to get it. P.L. apparently hasn't done so for multiple years.
Poor P.L. Customer Support is getting hammered with calls right now....certainly, the state ID # from that same issuer "might not" change for many years, but you'll never know if the state, or P.L. does a re-registration for some reason with new #s, so you'd probably have to call in every year.
