Yes. We use the interactive matching to verify SSNs for all interest-bearing deposit accounts that are established. This ensures that we are titling the account in such a way that it will match the IRS/SSA records when we file 1099s. This way we can catch any problems before they become 1099 issues.
I've also used the batch matching for existing accounts with some success, but I'm trying to refine my selection to only accounts that would qualify for the 1099.
