No. Domestic partnerships and civil unions are not accepted by the Social Security Administration ("SSA"), except for the purposes of name change.
The SSA does, however, accept same-sex marriages for all purposes, including the eligibility of a surviving same-sex spouse for death and Survivor benefits. (A death benefit is a small amount payable upon death for funeral expenses. A survivor benefit is a monthly stipend payable to a surviving spouse or child.)
