Can not get Stripe recipients to verify

Can not get Stripe recipients to verify

I am trying to create Stripe recipient objects - but no matter what I try
I've never been able to get one to come back as "verified." My
understanding is that Stripe verifies recipients by checking the name and
EIN / SSN fields against a government database. So far as I call tell I'm
entering in valid data that should pass the test.
There are no webhooks for validating a recipient - they are either
verified immediately upon creating (or updating) a recipient, or they are
not verified at all.
Any ideas what might be going on?
Furthermore ... do I even need to verify recipients before making bank
transfers? They highly recommend it in the docs - although it's unclear
whether it's actually necessary for making a successful transfer.
