[QUOTE="OTE, post: 5224"] They won't lose it just because they're married but basically they'd have to re-qualify. Keep in mind they have 10 days from the marriage to report it. Yes, the spouse's assets count as the disabled person's assets. It's the same concept as the parent's assets counting toward the child. "Resources" (aka assets) and income are determined by the family, not by an individual. But the more people there are in the family the higher the allowed amount of income. A couple is allowed $3,000 in assets vs $2,000 for a single person. Here's the SSI pubs: [url]http://ssa.gov/[/url] In terms of if they don't get legally married then it's the "living arrangements" that would be the issue. Bottom line answer to your question is that the spouse's income and assets count. The length or severity of the disability is not relevant for these purposes. [/QUOTE]
