Why so many applicants got name checked

[zensea]

Hi All:

I just wondered why so many people got name checked. I believed that the SS# must be used in the application processes, and the number is identical. Every applicant provides SS# in the application materials, how come so many get name checked. AM I missing sth there?

it is not just as simple as checking your SS# and get your name.
