Your filing status for income taxes (single, married, head of household) and whether or not you claim dependents has NOTHING to do with how much you will ultimately draw out of SS at retirement. Filing status and dependents only has to with how much withholding tax is taken out of your paycheck. SS tax is a flat percentage, the same amount for everyone.
