After the wedding and honeymoon is over, don't delay in having your name changed legally . Tell Social Security so that you can get a corrected card. If you are working, also tell your employer.

If you do not notify Social Security when your name changes, it may: 1. Delay tax refunds
2. Prevent your wages from being posted correctly to your Social Security record. By not having your name changed, this can possibly lower the amount of your future Social Security benefits.

Visit the Social Security website to find out how to have your name changed.
