Legal Question in Social Security Law in California
SSI-Joining an Alias to ''birth name'' to get full monthy payment
Hello, my husband passed away 3 years ago. I am receiving his SSI. For about 15 years out of our marriage (we were married about35 years) he worked under another name in which he paid into S.S. However, I am only receiving monies he paid into under his birth day (and the name on death certificate). How can the two names be joined legally so I can receive what I am owed for all the years he worked-under both names?

They go by the social security number, not by name only. Verify if it is the same and you should be able to connect the dots.
Good luck,
