What happens if you don’t change the name on your social security card after marriage? I’ve been married for 12 years and worked and put into Social Security that long under my previous name. I figured since it’s always the same number, what’s the rush? Yes, I’m lazy! Will there be any repercussions?
No. You don’t have to report any and all name changes to Social Security. When the time comes for benefits, you can then disclose any name change. Besides, they will pick it up through IRS. IRS and SSA are interlinked now.
Good! Thank you.
