Do you get a new SSN when you change your last name?

Question

I'm filling out the paperwork I have to bring with me to the social security office to get my last name changed. There's a line where you write down your social security number before name change. The way it is worded makes it seem like I will be getting a new number along with my new name. Is that so?

Answer

No you will keep the same social security number. They will just change your name and issue you a new card with your new name on it.

Answer

Your number remains the same - the name on the physical card changes to whatever your new last name is.

Answer

No. A SSN is kind of like a serial number for you. It stays the same regardless of your name

Answer

Answer

Number stays the same, they just update your name
