Receiving Social Security Disability - How long can you receive it?
There are a few answers to this question depending upon the type of disability benefit you receive. If your are receiving Social Security disability marriage or remarriage will in no way affect your Social Security disability benefit. Social Security disability is based upon your prior work activity, thus it is not subject to any termination in the event you remarry.
If you are receiving a disabled widows benefit your benefit will not be reduced or terminated if you remarry at the age of 50 or above. A word of caution, though. If you are receiving surviving mother or father in care (minor children under 16), your benefit will be terminated if you remarry.
If you are receiving Social Security disability benefits based upon the fact that you are a disabled adult child of a deceased or living parent (receiving retirement or disability) your benefit may be terminated upon marriage if you marry an individual who is not receiving Social Security disability or who is receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
Additionally, if an individual is receiving Supplemental Security Income disability benefits their disability may be reduced or even terminated upon marriage if their spouse’s income is too high for SSI income limits. As you can see there is not one answer to this question. It's prudent to check with your local Social Security office to determine how marriage could affect your disability benefits.
