Yes. It's so dumb right now. They know who they have money for. You just need to claim it by producing so much paperwork in some cases and getting signatures notarized that often it's not worth the time/effort.

There is no tie between a name and a physical person. Unlike a social security number. Names are not unique. And even if they were, there is no definitive database of addresses where checks can be sent.
