You will have to pay taxes on your benefits, and any other income you have. And unless you have money taken out of your benefit checks for tax purposes, (which you wouldn't because they don't normally tax them) you get hit with a huge tax bill in April. It is a bad financial move to get married while receiving Social Security Disability insurance.

You will not be taxed if your combined income is $34,000.00 per year or less. If the combined is more, your Social Security Disability Income can be taxed up to 10% of your yearly earnings.

Will you loose your disability benefits if you get married?

Yes. Marriage, by itself, has no impact on whether you can receive disability benefits. If the Social Security Administration determines you are disabled and you (or your spouse) have accumulated an adequate number of work credits, you can receive benefit payments under SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) regardless of your marital status, assets or income.If you are found disabled, but you (or your spouse) do not have an adequate number of work credits, you may qualify for SSI (Supplemental Security Income), but only if your income and assets fall below certain thresholds. Some recipients may qualify for both SSDI and SSI, but you are less likely to receive SSI payments if your spouse is working.For more information, see Related Links and Sources, below.


Can someone marry if they receive disability without getting their income cut off especially if they are a male?

Getting married can reduce your SSI benefit or cause the payments to stop altogether -- it depends on your wife's income. If she has a large income you will probably lose some and maybe all. If she has a meager income probably not.If you want help calculating your possible loss of benefits, contact your local Social Security officeEach case is different with the Social Security Administration. Some people can marry and not lose any benefits. You can speak to an agent and ask about your certain case.


Does a married couple have to file joint taxes if one is on Social Security and the other is on Disability?

It is possible for some of the social security benefits to become taxable on any individuals income tax return. Your question about the other being on Disability is not clear because it does not specify what kind. How much, if any, of your social security benefits are taxable depends on your total income and marital status. Generally, if social security benefits were your only income for 2009, your benefits are not taxable and you probably do not need to file a federal income tax return. If you received income from other sources, your benefits will not be taxed unless your modified adjusted gross income is more than the base amount for your filing status. Your taxable benefits and modified adjusted gross income are figured in a worksheet in the Form 1040A or Form 1040 Instruction booklet.


Can you collect social security disability if you never worked?

Possibly. Under certain circumstances, you may qualify for Social Security disability benefits under a spouse's or ex-spouse's (if married at least 10 years) work record, or under a parent's work record if you became disabled before age 22. If you are not eligible for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), you may be able to receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, a form of welfare that doesn't require you to have a work history. You may also qualify for other state and federal assistance.
