My boyfriend and I want to get married. He has the worst case of MS that a person can have and is receiving SSDI. I work and only make a rounded $18,000 a year. Will the two of us getting married make him not eligible for SSDI?

If your bf is getting SSDI on a parents record, and he got married he would loose his SSD. He would be getting SSD benefits on a parents record if he were disabled before he turned 22, and has a parent that has enough work credits and is retired, deceased, or disabled. A great way to find out if your BF is collecting benefits on one of his parent's record is to take a look at his Medicare card (he would have Medicare if he has been on SSD for two years). If he does not have Medicare yet pull out a letter that he received from the SSA and look at the claim number. IF the Medicare number, or claim number, has a C1 (or C and a different number after it) he is getting benefits on a parent's record. If he has an A after his Care number or claim number he is getting benefits on his own record. If he is getting benefits on his own record, getting married should not affect his SSD benefits, but It is best to verify this at your local SSA . To find an office near you go to https://s044a90.ssa.gov/apps6z/FOLO/fo001.jsp
If your bf also has Medicaid, as many people with a disability must have due to the high cost of medical care, his marriage will affect his Medicaid. If he has Medicaid and he plans on getting married please have him contact his Medicaid worker as well. Good Luck!!!

It shouldn't. My mom has SSDI and dad makes a little less than 25,000 a year, so his benefits shouldn't be affected by his marital status; I think it only would be if the spouse made like an excess 50,000 a year, and the person may still qualify for benefits if the have an "expensive" disease, and MS can be.

To my understanding, SSDI is the kind of disability that comes from contributor's quarters and is not for those who have not worked long enough. I would suspect that SSDI is like our CPP-D here in Canada, where your income is based only upon your contribution level and has nothing to do with your spouse, your assets or other non-earned sources of income (such as rental income from a cottage or other real property).

No. As long as he reports your income, he will still draw a check. They may take $20, or something in that manner, but it won't be much.

I dont think so not but be sure to ask your local social security office to find out for sure however.

No.
SSId is not considered income, federal or state.
