I am in the same situation as you folks, except my illness is different but it will prevent me from getting married in the near future as well. While I know this won’t solve all our countries health care systems problems it’s a step in the right direction! And one that has left me stuck as well. Let me know how I can help

As an engaged, disabled, 33-year-old woman, on SSDI this is nauseating and freaking WRONG!!!! But after dealing with SSDI and Medicare this last year, I was introduced to what a total sh** show they are and how much updating they NEED to do!! I sure hope this gets the signatures needed! Best of luck to the happy couple!

This is so important. This is a huge issue with our society that prevents disabled people from living their life and its so messed up.

This is immoral and based on the concept of ignorance. It is not moral to cut off help for a disabled adult simply because one is in love, additionally as disabled people struggle with love and being loved more than most in the population. We can't rely on outdated gender norms to expect a spouse to financially cover for the disabled spouse, that is not in consideration of the spouse and it is not 1950 anymore.

Disabled folks should have the right to marry whomever they choose without fear of losing their benefits, something they rely on every day.

My husband and I faced this situation because he was disabled and I filed for disability due to injuries/illnesses. He died in an accident two days before I was to receive SSI. The law as it stands is outrageous and discriminatory. "Marry within your same class" is exactly what they're saying to us. Good luck and hope you (we) win.

Both myself and spouse are disabled. I was getting SSDI when I got married. Now that my wife is disabled and approved for SSDI, she is being penalized because of my benefits. It is wrong to do people this way when we as disabled persons need our money just like anyone else to survive.
I'm with you Lori..

People should be allowed to marry who they want without being worried about what they can loose.

Injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere. Disabled rights are human rights. If we can afford money for endless military spending, bipartisan corruption, outrageous healthcare costs, and bailouts/tax cuts for the ultra wealthy, i think we have some wiggle room for ending this barbarism.
