Probably I'm just blind, but I do really not find an option to do the
"t-test" for rho=0. For example, if I do the command, there is no test
statistic w.r.t. rho:

. webuse womenwk
. heckman wage educ age, select(married children educ age) twostep

Heckman selection model -- two-step estimates   Number of obs      =      2000
(regression model with sample selection)        Censored obs       =       657
                                                Uncensored obs     =      1343

                                                Wald chi2(2)       =    442.54
                                                Prob > chi2        =    0.0000
