If the user enters the Middle Name/Initial on the initial screen, but the system was still unable to determine a single match, that field will not appear on the additional information screen.

If the system was unable to find any matches using the required fields from the initial entry screen, the user will be asked if they would like to continue attempting to match using a Similar Name search.
