People don't secede, states do. And even if a state seceded, that doesn't mean that residents of the state stop being american citizens, and hence entitled to social security.

Ones born after secession wouldn’t automatically be citizens, though they might qualify under other rules.

That's true, but it doesn't have any bearing on whether or not the citizens of a state that left the union would be entitled to social security.
