I am 16 and will be 17 in exactly a month, my mother has just died 4 weeks ago from today. I'm not the one going to be the payee, so if I get married to my boyfriend will my Social Security from my mom stop even though my mom's Social Security is going to my father?

Do you mean that you are receiving SS benefits alone or do you & your father receive benefits from your mom's SS?
Benefits for children usually do not go beyond 18 years of age unless they are disabled. Some things have changed in the last several years so you should check with your local SS office for accurate information. Including your question about marriage.
If your father is old enough to draw SS benefits then he may be able to continue receiving a check but not necessarily from your mother's SS.
