If your marriage is a problem for collecting from now on, it would also be a problem for the last 15 years.

Since you state that your other children received benefits on your SSDI record, I assume you are receiving SSDI and not SSI l.ike you referenced also. So if your benefits are based on your work history (and not on your parent), marriage has zero effect.

You are not required to change your name when you get married. But if you do, you should change it everywhere, not just some places. At SSA, you need to show the marriage certificate and ask for a new card. Then you can ask to change your name on your benefit records.

No, don't get any back pay because you didn't bother to file a claim for the newest child. And you sure can't claim you didn't know better.

Ditto here.
