For Social Security Disability Benefits and Retirement Benefits, the amount you will receive will stay the same. However, for other programs, the benefits you will receive may be affected, listed below are how your SSI benefits will be affected by your marriage: • Your spouse’s income and other resources will affect the benefits you will receive; • If both of you are receiving SSI benefits, the benefit amount to be received will be converted from an individual rate to a couple’s rate. It is crucial to report such changes to the Social Security Administration.
