Acknowledging this potential issue: when the background check company contacts you back with the background results they could always request the SSN as additional information in the event the findings are negative. That company could also make clear what information they return to their customers with an example (with fake information of course).

And the reality is that the last 4 digits would probably be more than enough to verify whether or not it is the same person. It seems highly unlikely that two people would share the same name and last 4 digits of their SSN.
