Is there a deadline for when you need to change your name on your social security card after marriagea I got married in May and I just got our marriage license! I'm not going to change the name on my social security card to my married name, so I was wondering I still use my maiden name until I change the name on my card security Sociala
As the name on your paycheck is the name on your Social Security card that you will continue to accrue benefits. It is when you change one and not change the other you get screwed.
So, you're fine as long as when you change, you change everything .... bank account, paycheck, social security, driver's license.
I changed mine a few months later. Not sure of time constraints, but I have no problems.
