Hi I'am 53 years old on social security disability ,& Would like to marry my boyfriend of 5 yrs. My question is "" Is there any consequences if I marry him and will SSA reduce my monthly check. ??
Hi. No, as long as what you're receiving are Social Security disability (SSDI) benefits. A person's SSDI benefit rate is the same regardless of whether or not they're married.
If you were receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI), though, then getting married could cause your SSI benefits to stop or be reduced. Unlike Social Security benefits, SSI benefits are needs based. And, if an SSI recipient marries, their spouse's income and resources could cause them be be ineligible for SSI.
Best, Jerry
