EINs don't accumulate Social Security, but when you file taxes you'll pay "self-employment tax" on earnings from that "business" and those go to your personal SS account.
When you use an EIN you're basically claiming to act as a business. For some cases, you can do that just fine. But a lot of SSN requests for identification or credit checks it won't work. And anyone who cares that it's a SSN vs a TIN can figure that out easily.
