A widowed person receives the maximum SSI payment monthly. As I understand it should he/she remarry one of the spouses will only receive only a portion of the SSI pmt he/she received if they did not marry formally. Is there a type of committnemt cermony that can be performed that is recognized by the church but not by the state that will not require the reduction of that portion of the SSI monthly payment. And what church/denomination performs that type of ceremony

If you're just looking for a commitment ceremony, then why do you need it to be in a church? If you are insistant on your ceremony being religious and church recognised, then talk with your pastor/preist/minister/rabbi/whatever and tell them your problem. A lot of churches aren't happy with their members cheating the government though.

Even his former in-rules welcomed me--and nonetheless do--to the family members, and we are nonetheless the two invited to their gatherings. i be attentive to that it fairly isn't the case. I additionally be attentive to that there are unscrupulous people who seek for out widows and widowers to marry for the incorrect motives. yet by using and massive, i think of the determination to remarry must be with the guy doing the marrying, not with others who % to intervene for his or her very own motives or hobbies, or suspicions. i think of there must be family members help, as a exchange of interference.

My Dad and Stepmother got married last year, but had hesitated from ss worries. They found that their worries were unfounded. Find out at an ss office. Then, go from there.

My grandparents long ago sat on the sofa and declared their love for one another. We never thought it was weird and we were thrilled. It was not recognized by any church and it was not legal. She kept her name and her SSI $$ that she had busted her butt for all her life. They enjoyed traveling together and loved each other till she died. It was her 3rd and his 2nd marriage.
