I am recieving social security disability and want to get married will this effect in check?

I am planning to get married and both of us recieve social security disability. Will this effect our check and what do I need to do before we do marry?I am recieving social security disability and want to get married will this effect in check?
I second the comment on checking with your local social security administration. If you are both on disability, then chances are the amounts won't be affected.





And to the posters who are criticizing social secuirty receipients as being free loaders, let me educate you.





It is very very difficult for an able bodied person to receive SSI benefits, especially if they are young. The criteria is staggering and seriously is nothing less than being blind, an amputee, having a severe siezure disorder, many types of cancers, and broken bodies from severe accidents of some sort, to name just a few.





To get SSI benefits REQUIRES a severe and permanent disability and sometimes even these people are denied. It can be horribly frustrating.I am recieving social security disability and want to get married will this effect in check?
It depends upon what kind of benefits you are actually receiving. Many people say ';Social Security'; when they could mean either Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI).





Both are administered by the Social Security Administration, but there is a difference. SSDI is for those who are permanently disabled, but who have worked long enough to earn benefits. SSI is welfare for those who are permanently disabled, but who didn't work long enough to earn their benefits.





If you get SSDI, your benefits will not stop, and the amount will probably stay the same.





If you get SSI, it is possible that your benefits could change, since it is welfare and is based on household income and assets.





Talk to Social Security to find out for sure.
Generally, if you are receiving SS for your own disability, this is not affected when you marry. If you are receiving survivor's benefits, then your SS can be effected when you marry.





Talk with someone at the SS before you marry for answers that apply to your specific situation.
gee, you both must be hardworking contributing Americans. I am so happy to pay my payroll tax to keep you comfortable.
I would suggest sterlization so as not to rear another generation of ';disabled';. It is the only responsible thing to do.
