How Do You Update Your Name For Social Security?

Do you collect Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI)? Were you recently married? Have you gone through a life event that has resulted in a name change? 

If you have, you should know that changing your name with the Social Security Administration (SSA) is a fairly easy process. We bring this up because June usually kicks off wedding season! To change your name on file with the agency, you need to apply for a replacement Social Security card reflecting the change.

You can do this by visiting your local SSA field office with identifying information, which can include your current Social Security number, an earnings statement, driver’s license and/or birth certificate.

Additionally, if you have moved recently, you can change your address online using this site. Typically, it takes about 10 business days from the date of a name change request before someone receives a new card.

Remember, changing your name and keeping your personal information up to date with the SSA is incredibly important. The failure to do so could result in delays with processing a claim or receiving benefits in the future.
