If child receives ssi for disabilited parent does parent have visitation rights

Just found out my sons father gets SSI. Can my son draw SSI also. Father lives out of state and as had little contact with my son, if I draw SSI for him will the father have visitation rights, rights to have his last name changed ?

The father already has those rights. Child support and visitation are separate issues. Is there a current support order from the courts ?

Short answer-YES.
Visitation and child support are different things.
