They can terminate you if you don't provide information they want, including this information, unless you have a written employment contract preventing your termination for this reason: without a contract, you may be terminated at any time, for any reason whatsoever.
However, they may NOT withhold your check: the law is clear that an employee must be paid for all work they did up to when they do leave employment (quit or are terminated), and that the employer may *never* withhold a paycheck except 1) with employee consent or agreement (such as if you are agreeing they can take your check to repay some amount you owe your company) or 2) as ordered by a court or the tax authorities (like wage garnishment). So they may not withhold your check for this reason, and you should contact the dept. of labor to inquire into filing a complaint about this.
