I feel like we had a practice question similar to this, and I think the employee's date of birth might not be needed for reporting.

I think the last known address is definitely required, but I’m a bit confused about the payment amount. Isn’t that usually included too?

I remember discussing unclaimed wages in class, but I’m not entirely sure if the date of birth is always necessary.
