Would We Lose One Of Our Benefits If We Marry?

Should 2 women marry if one is 59 and collecting disability and the other is 70 and is collecting social security retirement? Would we lose one of the incomes?

Hi,

Getting married would have no adverse impact on either Social Security disability (SSDI) benefits or Social Security retirement benefits that are based on a person's own work history.

Best, Jerry
