Great info, thanks Debra.

just signed up - if you have a lot of songs out there like me prepare to spend a bit of time on this - also..I opened a separate bank account (with not too much $ in it) to give them info for - im linking my paypal,ASCAP and some other music things to this account only - once it gets too much $ in it I simply transfer to my other account - call me paranoid but it seems every time I turn on the news another company is getting hacked - if something funky ever happens to your bank account it can take 2-6 months to have it investigated - can you go that long without your scratch ? - I know I can't...bum

Yes, they need the info to report payments to the IRS. I was notified through ASCAP that they had funds waiting for us. Matto on another thread let me know this is for performance royalties, not writer/publisher so they are paying from another corner of the field.

I received an email stating that they (sound ex) had money for me. I went to the site and sure enough, songs I had written with a previous band showed up. They only ask for a copy of a driver's license for proof of identity (expected) and and a W-9 which is also pretty normal. And a voided check for direct deposit was optional. Nothing seems out of the ordinary & I was impressed that someone would take the steps to contact me.

I'll let you guys know how many millions I receive, (probably more like $5!)
