Effect of marriage on disability benefits

May 2, 2012 by admin

If your boyfriend receives "normal" Social Security disability based on his work record, his benefits will not be affected.

If your boyfriend receives SSI disability (low income and few assets), then the marriage must be reported. His benefit may be affected if you have income or assets.
