Cindy, I wasn't at all belitteling those who do make the choice to marry. I'm a believer in marriage. However, I also believe people need to do what works best for them ESPECIALLY when that choice can affect their health (i.e. loosing state medical benefits, which in some states ARE amazing!).
Caroline, exactly what I meant! Thank you!
Khristina, Are you on SSDI or SSI, or both (which sometimes happens if your SSDI benefit amount isn't a lot) If you are on SSDI then your husbands income has NO impact on it. The ONLY thing that can change SSDI amount is if you earn ofer 1000 a month.
Musclemania, SSI, state medicaid and food stamps are all affected if you get married.</end quote></div>
All I have to say it is all State to State not what ever one person has to say. I was on SSDI and got married lost it all even Medicaid and can not get medicare so I have to use his insurance for all meds which is 80% they pay I pay 20%. So saying you wont lose anything is not true at all. It depends highly on the State.

Melissa, sounds like you were on SSI, NOT SSDI. SSDI is ONLY affected if YOU, the person on the SSDI start working again and earn over $1000 a month. Medicare is a FEDERAL GOVERNMENT program and NOT a state program.
If, in fact you were on SSDI, then they have royally screwed you and I urge you to get in touch with myself (<A HREF="http://www.dafcf.org">www.dafcf.org</A>, <A HREF="mailto:services@dafcf.org">services@dafcf.org</A> or 452 280 7310) or Beth Sufian
