Can a company that issued a 1099 see when/if the person receiving the 1099 income filed their federal taxes? And would a company issuing a 1099 face any sort of trouble if the person receiving the 1099 income failed to file taxes?

Theoretically, say you are a small business/non-profit and you mailed off ~150 1099 forms to the IRS last week (deadline was 2/28). Say you came into work this morning and the 1096 summary form that is supposed to accompany the 1099s was found to have fallen out of the envelope and onto the floor before sealing. How would one go about resolving this?
