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

Home More advice Jobs & Money

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?
