If they are on SSDI, which is based on the person's past work history, the benefits do not stop when the person gets married.
If they get SSI, which is a type of welfare for those who are disabled but have not worked long enough to qualify for SSDI, their benefits are based on household assets and income. (Household means the people living together even if they aren't married.) If their assets or income are over a certain amount, they will lose their benefits.

no but if the one your marrying is on ssi/ssdi too you may get less because they combine income and you can only make so much.

Not really, but you have to check w/ the local/county/state welfare office for the real answer or call your nearest Social Security office or better yet...

No, benefits do not stop, however they will be recalculated according to their spouses income.
