My son is receiving Social Security survivor benefits from his mother passing away. I was never married to her. He lives with me now; my wife is his step mom and wants to adopt him. Will Social Security payments stop in this case?

Yes. My daughter went through this as well. Once your son is adopted your survivor benefits will stop.
Yes they would probably stop his payments.It would be more beneficial to let him keep receiving his survivor benefit.She can still be his step mom.
You will need to make an appointment with social security. Bring all important documents such as birth and death certificates
According to Social Security Survivor benefits if a child is already receiving survivor benefits and is adopted he will not lose his benefits.
It is best to contact the SSI office if you are planning on changing the child's last name. His SS number has to be updated.
Here is a question and answer page that you can read about adoption and benefits.

Survivor benefits for children have a lot of different facets and the only way you will know for sure is to go in person to your Social Security office and present your questions.
It is important that you remember that any changes dealing with your son's life may have to be reported to the SS agency. Do you complete a yearly report showing how your son's benefits were used? SS can ask for this report at any time but may not require it consistently.
