Will I still get social security checks if I change my last name?

I was wondering if it would be safe to change my last name if im getting social security checks for my dad dieing because Im sick of having the last name of of my dads family because they all are nothing but @ssholes and do nothing but blme my mom for stuff and make her cry... I never did like the family and my sister and me and my mom wants to change are names to her familys last name instead of my dads. But since are last names are my dads would they take our social security checks if we changed are last names?

I don't think so they would take the checks from you if you changed your last names... but, you better take that up with the Social Security Department in your town first! They will help you out with how to go about doing that and how to make sure the checks will still come to you! Good luck!

what do you want to change it to?
