I’m one of DAC people- it isn’t fair to us. I pray marriage penalty will be removed!

Please allow this law. Why should someone be discriminated against for being disabled?

I think a person shouldn’t be penalized for being disabled and should be able to get married legally without losing their benefits

I think people with disabilities shouldn’t be penalized for getting married. Have a niece that is in same situation that can't get married.

My daughter can't marry and keep her benefits. This law would help do much!

It's horrible to put disabled people in a position like this, especially with how expensive it is to live at all these days. I don't want to feel like I have to stay single just to have benefits as a chronically ill person and potentially end up in an unsafe situation or relationship with someone else in control. It's not okay. Give disabled people the freedom and safety we deserve. Life is hard enough

I am a DAC,who receives survivors benifits from my deceased father's record. I was born with a Genetic collagen disease, that is degenerative and has no cure. I am 54 and would like to exercise my rights, as an American ,the freedom of marriage, without penalty! As current laws,would cause me to loose my supporting income/medical if I were to marry, as I desperately desire

Taking away someone's financial and health security simply because they marry an abled bodied adult is rather twistednon the part of the US Government. Time to change the law.

Penalizing a disabled person for marrying is not equal rights! This is discrimination against disabled Americans!

This law is against civil liberties and needs to change. People with disabilities should be able to continue to receive full benefits after marrying.
