As a disabled man on SSDI, I don't think the government has any right to tell me who I cam and can't marry.

Individuals with disabilities have the right to get married just like anyone and they don't need to sacrifice their disability benefits to do so. They don't need to choose between one or the other

This is one of the most unconscionable laws I’ve ever seen! This is absolutely akin to the laws that prohibited interracial marriages and it needs to be abolished. Immediately!

It is absolutely appalling that the government gives people with disabilities another obstacle to overcome just to have the same love and lifestyle that every other american or non american has the opportunity to have in life.. I was absolutely disgusted and shocked to read this knowing that if I ever want to have the american dream of a conventional marriage and family that I will lose the income I need to survive! This needs attention immediately as it is completely obvious to any reader disabled or not how horribly unfair this is! What an injustice this is to the disabled community! I'm now sick to my stomach knowing now that I may never be able to get married! Wow! This is absolutely heart breaking!

I completely agree. People should be able to marry whoever they want without losing critical benefits.

I have a brother with cerebral palsy who has been deeply injured by the SSA MARRIAGE PENALTY LAW. He lost his SSDI and Medicare. His wife passed & he couldn’t get his benefits reinstated.

Me and my husband just got married in October of 2020 and we are an hour away from being divorced in 2021 of March because of the Social Security Disability punishment act for people with disability not being able to be married and keep their benefits this is ridiculous and it needs to stop.

I hope this can change. I'm disabled and married in a similar but different situation with ssdi cutting my payments because of my husband's income and it's just even more stress and hurt on top of what I already have to live with. Much love.

There is no marriage equality until disabled individuals like myself can marry the ones we love without penalties that can greatly harm our physical being.
