My mom passed away in February of this year. She started receiving Social Security 2 or 3 months before she passed. Will or can my stepdad receive her benefits if they never married? She never used his last name. They had a child together, my brother. He has my mom's last name.

Why isn't this man asking his own questions? Furthermore being they were never married he isn't your stepdad. Somebody will have to talk to the local Social Security Office to find out the answer.
This sounds like a complicated situation but I cannot see how anyone can claim SS benefits in the scenario you describe.
It seems you are calling him step-dad but is he not your father?
Only the people involved can get this information from the SSA.
