You can still do 5k like I did (Giant PA), they just need to fill in the paperwork. YMMV if they actually want to do it, sometimes you'll get a Karen who claims they can only do 2k because they don't want to do work (obviously you don't push back or risk a memo for everyone to limit to 2k permanently). The form requires SSN now, and IME 2k and up requires the form.
