## Overview
The SSN Name Match Cloud API determines if the Social Security Number is within the acceptable range, and matches against the First and Last Name. In addition, the Cloud API will also check if the SSN is flagged as deceased.
You can use SSN Name Match to:
- Verify SSN syntax is correct
- Verify the SSN exists
- Match First and Last Name to the SSN
- Perform deceased suppression based upon SSN
