I have spoken to numerous married folks who got divorced to get out from under the marriage penalty. Who do they speak to to get this resolved. One is disabled and gets the bulk of the income, the other gets SSI for cancer/depression/ and gets a ridiculous amount of money. What are the ramifications if they divorce to increase the income.

Even if you divorce you will not get that much money. There is a dollar amount given in each state for the individual depending on the situation. SSi is only given to those who are in need because their Social Security check is not very much for a number of reasons, usually because of their prior work history before they became disabled. Trying to make money off of Social Security is not a good idea. If they find out what you are doing, they could possibly take your benefits away for fraud so I would be very careful. If you want answers to these questions you would need to call your state social services but be very careful what you ask.
Good Luck.
