If the US government announces there will be remission (they have not announced this yet) you will have to send some information, but not until the US government announces how to send it.
"Remission" is a process the US government sometimes uses to pay compensation to victims of crime, using money from assets seized from the criminals. When the government decides to use remission in a particular case, they notify the victims that remission will occur. People who want to receive payment from the government must tell the government why they qualify to be paid. When the government announces the remission process, they explain how victims must contact the government to claim a payment.
Remission was used to compensate FTP's US players. The application was made by filling out forms on an internet web site set up for that purpose.
FTP players outside the US were not paid through remission. They were paid directly by PokerStars, much sooner. Being paid by PokerStars is very unlikely to happen for AP/UB players.
