The ruling that a disabled person cannot marry without loosing their already established benefits is unfair and should be rescinded.

This is an outrage! And while we’re at it, we need to change the laws regarding people who were stay at home mothers their entire marriages, and then when left destitute and forced on SSI due to disability—which pays a pittance of only a few hundred dollars—are unable to ever live with someone within a relationship or marry someone w/o losing lifesaving health benefits. We should be able to get SSDI based disability based upon our husband’s work records, during marriage and after, especially after being married for decades! Forcing us on SSI, which we can only get once single, not only contributes to extreme poverty, it prevents us from ever marrying or being in a committed long-term relationship. Being a stay at home mother is very respectable work, and it’s time we benefit when we become disabled while doing it especially for when we ever get left due to being sick or just divorce for whatever reason!

In a time where marriage equality has been improving to vastly, it's time to include disabled people. You should not have to loose your income (which is far too small, though that's its own issue), as well as health insurance, just to marry. Marriage should be accessible for ALL, without having to put your lively hood, wellbeing, and even potentially life on the line.

This is classist and ableist. In this day and age there is no excuse for such barbarism.

It's unfair and unjustified for people who want to get married and can't because all of their benefits will get cut

This is malfeasance and it's foul. I hope this unjust law is repealed. Americans pay enough in taxes to never have to worry about homelessness or hunger, and yet, millions face exactly that in this country.
If federal agencies would simply be more responsible in their fiduciary duties and stop mismanaging America's tax dollars, we wouldn't have half the problems we do. Taking from the sick and vulnerable while simultaneously barring marriage for the disabled via the threat of ruin and death (loss of health insurance) is simply shameful. Shame on the Social Security Administration.

I agree this is not right, I have a son who is visionly disabled and also diabetic. He depends on other people for daily help and for transportation. He draws off of me and depends on me for help and transportation. He wants to get marry, if he is able to get married then his wife will be the one to help him. To force him to not marry so he can keep getting ssdi, would go again his his beliefs and rights.
